Concert at the NOSPR premises on the 6th of October, 2023 at 7.30 p.m. is organized around events related to the 70th anniversary of death of Grzegorz Fitelberg, a composer who has been patron of the Orchestra's activities for years. We will hear his Symphony No. 1 in E minor, Op. 16 performed by NOSPR and conducted by Alexander Humala. Before the concert at 6 p.m. in the NOSPR chamber hall there will be a screening of the film ‘Fulfillment. Sketches for the portrait of Grzegorz Fitelberg’ (2007) directed by Czesław Janicki.

Grzegorz Fitelberg was eager to arrange music all his life, reaching for works by Stanisław Moniuszko, Mieczysław Karłowicz and Karol Szymanowski. This evening we will listen to one of such arrangements - Nocturne and Tarantella Op. 28 originally written by Karol Szymanowski for violin and piano.

The programme will also include Variations in B flat major on ‘Là ci darem la mano’ by Fryderyk Chopin and Little Suite by Witold Lutosławski. Pianist Jakub Kuszlik will perform as a soloist.
