III Międzynarodowy Kongres "Chopin 1810-2010. Idee - Interpretacje - Oddziaływania" - Warszawa, 25 lutego - 1 marca 2010

Under the patronage of the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage The Fryderyk Chopin Institute in Warsaw will host a Third International Congress from 25 February to 1 March 2010 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Fryderyk Chopin Chopin 1810-2010 Ideas – Intepretations – Influence.

Nearly 200 years have elapsed since the birth of Fryderyk Chopin in 1810. In honour of this event and to recognize the importance that Chopin and his music have had throughout the past two centuries, the Fryderyk Chopin Institute in Warsaw will promote a major celebration entitled ‘Chopin 2010’, featuring performances of his music, competitions and festivals, as well as the Third International Congress devoted to the composer and his oeuvre. The first Congress took place in Warsaw in 1960 under the aegis of the Institute of Musicology at the University of Warsaw, while the Second Congress, organized in 1999 by the ‘Polish Chopin Academy’, was devoted to ‘Chopin and his Work in the Context of Culture’.

The Third International Congress will encompass a broad thematic spectrum, focusing in particular on the ideas that inspired Chopin’s oeuvre, interpretative responses to it, and the influences that it has had on the music of other composers as well as on other forms of artistic endeavour and human activity.

The following areas are particularly relevant:

1. Chopin’s personality, heritage and milieu, biography, historical contexts surrounding Chopin’s creative output, contemporary aesthetics and their influence on Chopin.

2. Interpretations of Chopin’s music, sources (including but not limited to performances), methodologies historical and current performance traditions and styles analyses (broadly defined).

3. The influence of Chopin and his music, on the music of other composers, on literature and art, in terms of historical and sociological repercussions.

In addition to the formal conference program, concerts will be held and the new Fryderyk Chopin Museum will be opened in the Ostrogski Castle.

Program Committee: Chairs: Jean-Jacques Eigeldinger, Irena Poniatowska (chair), John Rink Zofia Chechlińska, Maciej Gołąb, Jeffrey Kallberg, Wojciech Nowik, Jim Samson, Zbigniew Skowron, Artur Szklener, Mieczysław Tomaszewski

VI Międzynarodowy Festiwal Muzyczny „Chopin i jego Europa”odbędzie się w Warszawie w dniach 1-31 sierpnia 2010 roku. Letni miesiąc z muzyką wypełni 58 wyjątkowych koncertów, w programie których znajdą się dzieła mistrzów baroku, klasycyzmu i romantyzmu, w wykonaniu 167 wykonawców – słynnych solistów, zespołów kameralnych, dyrygentów i orkiestr.

Festiwal zainauguruje wykonanie Mszy h-moll Jana Sebastiana Bacha w interpretacji Akademie für Alte Musik z Berlina i światowej sławy solistów, poprzedzone Mazurkiem f-moll op. 68 nr 4 Chopina. Koncert odbędzie się w Bazylice św. Krzyża. Program pozostałych dni festiwalowych obfitować będzie w równie wyjątkowe wydarzenia. Missa Solemnis Ludwiga van Beethovena zabrzmi w interpretacji zaproszonych solistów, Orchestre des Champs-Élysèes, Collegium Vocale Gent & Accademia Chigiana Siena pod dyrekcją Philippe’a Herreweghe’a (22.08). Po raz pierwszy w Polsce na instrumentach z epoki zostanie wykonana Norma Vincenzo Belliniego, w wersji koncertowej (6.08). Z kolei fragmenty innych cenionych przez Chopina oper usłyszymy podczas koncertu „Chopin & l’opéra” (24.08). Jak zawsze zabrzmią kompozycje samego patrona Festiwalu oraz twórców Jego epoki, a także muzyka współczesna. Narodowy Instytut Fryderyka Chopina zamówił u Pawła Mykietyna nowy utwór – Berceuse, którego premierowego wykonania dokona słynny zespół The Tallis Scholars pod batutą Petera Phillipsa (7.08).
