7th Sinfonietta Festival

Thursday, July 1, 2021 - Sunday, July 4, 2021

  • Thursday, July 1, 2021 - Sunday, July 4, 2021
>

The Sinfonietta Cracovia’s Summer Offensive is here! It comprises the Stanisław Lem’s Microcosm cycle and the Sinfonietta Festival, both under the banner “Science & Fiction” – which is of course fully understandable during the Lem Year.
Therefore, the guests of the festival and of its host, Sinfonietta Cracovia Orchestra, will be musicians, including conductor Ricardo Casero and flutist Massimo Mercelli, and scientists working in the field of medicie: Dr. Maria Sibilia and Dr. Manfred Hecking, who was a professional double bass player until 2006 (member of the Munich Philharmonic and of the Vienna Opera and Vienna Philharmonic orchestras.)
For those who like to follow the sounds, the festival offers the Chamber Clubbing. Yes, our favourite concert formula is back, once again visiting various branches of the National Museum in Krakow.
And the festival finale brings among the others the premiere of the winning work of the composing competition, organised by Sinfonietta Cracovia for the seventh time. This year, its task was to pen a work for strings and theremin, an electronic musical instrument patentes in 1928 and controlled without physical contact by the performer.
