Elbląg Chamber Orchestra opens musical autumn

EOK

How to inaugurate the artistic year? The Elbląg Chamber Orchestra has already found the answer to this question and will begin its 12th season with Paweł Gusnar and Rafał Grząki. The concert will take place on September 29, 2018 at 7:00 p.m. in the Concert Hall of the State Music School in Elbląg.

Together with well-known soloists, the chamber musicians will prove that string instruments can find a common musical language with saxophone and bandoneon. They will do it under the baton of Nikola Kołodziejczyk – the winner of two Fryderyk Awards – and Paulina Skoczyk.

The first of the mentioned artists is not afraid of experimenting, which he proved while preparing a composition with the use of ... typewriters and sewing machines. This time he "sewed" for EOK Double concerto for saxophone, bandoneon and string orchestra. Elbląg residents will hear the premiere of this piece during the inaugural concert, along with works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Johann Sebastian Bach, Henryk Mikołaj Górecki, and Ernest Bloch.

The premiere of the work by Nikola Kołodziejczyk was co-financed by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage from the Culture Promotion Fund under the "Composition Commissions" programme, implemented by the Institute of Music and Dance.

Wrocław | Inauguration of the National Forum of Music artistic season

NFM

On September 28, 2018 at 7:00 p.m., during the concert inaugurating the 73rd artistic season of the National Forum of Music,  the world-famous Danish violinist Nikolai Znaider will perform Karol Szymanowski's Violin Concerto No. 2.

Karol Szymanowski wrote his Second Violin Concerto in 1932 and 1933. It was performed for the first time with violinist Paweł Kochański, under the baton of Grzegorz Fitelberg, at the Warsaw Philharmonic on October 6, 1933. Szymanowski’s childhood friends included the pianist Artur Rubinstein and the Paweł Kochański and he often composed with them in mind. After moving to America In the early 1920s, Kochański received a letter from Szymanowski who described writing the Second Violin Concerto as, "squeezed out of me, as out of a desiccated tube of toothpaste." Departing from his earlier modernist style, Szymanowski said the work was "horribly sentimental… beating all records of sentimentality… I am almost ashamed of myself!!"

The programme of the concert will be complemented by Carnival – concert overture, Op. 92 Antonin Dvořák and Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Op. 68 by Johannes Brahms. The NFM Wrocław Philharmonic Orchestra will be led by Giancarlo Guerrero. The project is carried out as part of the celebrations of the 100th anniversary of Poland regaining independence.

Warsaw | 9th La Folle Journée 2018 "Towards a New World"

SzaloneThe 9th edition of La Folle Journée "Towards a New World" will take place on September 28-30, 2018. The Polish edition of the largest classical music festival returns to Teatr Wielki – the National Opera, featuring 55 concerts with the participation of 1000 artists.

This year’s theme of La Folle Journée focuses on composers whose lives were marred by emigration. In this context, the Warsaw edition of the Festival on the 100th anniversary of Poland’s regaining its independence places particular emphasis on music written by our composers. The programme of the Festival includes works that have become established landmarks of the canon of national culture, and also unusual interpretations of the classics by artists of the young generation. During the Festival we will also hear for the first time winning works from the “Warsaw Polonaise for an Independent Poland” composing competition.

On Friday (28.09) pianist Piotr Orzechowski “Pianohooligan” and saxophone player Kuba Więcek will face the music of Henryk Mikołaj Górecki. Pianohooligan will also perform on Saturday (29.09) together with the Polish Radio Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Michał Klauza. That concert will include performances of works by Mieczysław Weinberg and Henryk Wars, both of whom were linked with Warsaw and its fate in the 20th century. Equally intriguing is a joint project by Sinfonia Varsovia Brass and the Adam Bałdych Quartet (29.09). The artists will present unusual, jazzy interpretations of works by Witold Lutosławski and Mieczysław Karłowicz for improvising violin, brass ensemble and rhythm section.

The programme of La Folle Journée also includes concerts showcasing an imposing collection of Polish works from the past 200 years. The Sinfonia Varsovia Orchestra, the orchestra of Teatr Wielki – the National Opera and the National Philharmonic Orchestra will present a wide range of Polish symphonic music, including works by, among others, Karol Szymanowski, Alexandre Tansman, Stanisław Moniuszko and Wojciech Kilar. The Amadeus Polish Radio Chamber Orchestra will play works like the orchestral arrangement of Szymanowski’s Etude in B-flat minor to Ignacy Jan Paderewski’s youthful Suite for String Orchestra. The music of Frederic Chopin will also be present at the Festival, during a recital by Japanese pianist Etsuko Hirose. Our young performers also readily play Polish music. Selected music school symphony orchestras will perform works by, among others Feliks Nowowiejski, Henryk Czyż, Andrzej Panufnik and the best-known patriotic songs.
