On the 14th of April, 2023 at 19.00 the Silesian Philharmonic Choir and Symphony Orchestra conducted by Yaroslav Shemet invites you to an evening of great choirs and overtures to the most famous operas by Richard Wagner, Stanisław Moniuszko, Bedřich Smetana and Roman Statkowski.
We will be the first to hear the Overture to the opera Maria by Roman Statkowski – a work perhaps forgotten, overlooked. We will see how wrong it is to put it into oblivion right away when the first sounds of the introduction to this work resound, the libretto of which deals with tragic love, conflicts and unnecessary deaths caused by a fatal feeling - all based on a poetic novel by Antoni Malczewski .
The second part of the programme will be Zbigniew Noskowski's Elegiac Polonaise, originally written for piano, which will be performed that evening by the Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra conducted by Yaroslav Shemet.
