Programme of the concert on the 10^th of December, 2023 at 6:00 p.m. at NOSPR was composed on the principle of contrast - world premieres by young composers were juxtaposed with classics of contemporary music. This is the programme goal of the entire "Newest Music" series, led by the New Music Orchestra conducted by Szymon Bywalec.

Dimorphos (moon of the asteroid Didymos) by Tomasz J. Opałka for bass clarinet, bassethorn and orchestra, gives performers a lot of scope to use all the interesting effects of modern techniques of performing these low-sounding instruments.

Dopamine by Mateusz Ryczek was composed for trumpet and orchestra. The premiere of the song has a chance to increase this hormone in the listeners!
