Krakow Philharmonic – Penderecki's 87th birthday anniversary (online)
Sunday, December 6, 2020, 6:00 PM
Krzysztof Penderecki was born on 23 November 1933. On 27 and 28 November, the Kraków Philharmonic marks the event for the first time since the Maestro’s passing earlier this year. The musicians perform his diploma composition Epitaphium Artur Malawski In Memoriam, Symphony No. 6 “Chinese Songs”, the choral work O gloriosa Virginum, Agnus Dei composed in response to the passing of Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński, and the dramatic lament Stabat Mater. We will also hear the world premiere of Rafał Janiak’s Postscriptum 8’:37” = 8(.)6… dedicated to Penderecki’s memory. The music is performed by Jarosław Bręk (baritone) and the Kraków Philharmonic Choir and Orchestra under the baton of Antoni Wit, former pupil of Maestro Penderecki. (wz)

Besides their weekly symphony concerts, the Kraków Philharmonic also organises master recitals and educational concerts for children and young people.
The Karol Szymanowski Philharmonic Hall in Kraków was the first philharmonic to open in Poland after the Second World War. Besides the weekly symphony concerts, it organises master recitals and educational concerts for children and young people, while the summer meetings with music assume the form of chamber concerts of slightly lighter character. A hallmark of the Kraków Philharmonic repertoire is its programme of oratorios, which the Philharmonic can present thanks to its extensive and varied lineup: the orchestra, mixed choir, and boys choir. The Kraków Philharmonic has become recognised for its promotion of the works of Karol Szymanowski in Poland and abroad.
The Philharmonic Hall frequently hosts concerts by special guests, for example, at major festivals.
