On the 1st of March, 2024 at 7.00 p.m. the Opole Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra will perform directed by the young conductor and composer Jakub Montewka, who served as the Philharmonic's assistant conductor in the 2022/2023 artistic season. The solo part in Karol Szymanowski's Violin Concerto No. 1 will be performed by a recognised Polish violinist Jakub Jakowicz, who plays the instrument made by the Gand Brothers (Paris, 1859).
Szymanowski's Violin Concerto No. 1 opened a new chapter in the history of instrumental concerts. It differs from the great Romantic compositions in virtually everything: the form of the work is one-piece, but composed of five links, and the performing virtuosity is presented in a completely new approach.
