A concert promoting the new album of Cracow Duo and Sinfonietta Cracovia with Polish contemporary music, recorded under the baton of Jurek Dybał for the prestigious Warner Classics label, will take place on February 10, 2019 at 7.00 p.m. in the concert hall of the Manggha Museum in Kraków.
The "Polish Music Experience" album is a selection of the most interesting compositions from the repository of Polish contemporary music performed by Krakow virtuosi specializing in interpretations of contemporary music: Cracow Duo duet (Jan Kalinowski ‒ cello, Marek Szlezer ‒ piano) and Sinfonietta Cracovia under the baton of Jurek Dybał. The CD contains works by the most outstanding Polish artists of the past and present century: Krzysztof Penderecki, Wojciech Kilar and Krzysztof Meyer, as well as the composition of one of the most talented and most awarded Polish composers of the young generation: Tomasz Opałka.
On February 10, Cracow Duo and Sinfonietta Cracovia will perform, among others, energetic and color-diverse composition Hemisphere2 by Tomasz Opałka in the new version dedicated by the composer to the performers, and virtuoso Musica concertante for cello, piano, string orchestra and percussion by Krzysztof Meyer. The repertoire of the concert will also include Concerto for string orchestra by Grażyna Bacewicz ‒ composer's opus magnum, sometimes referred to as her "Symphony No. 9," and the electrifying Double Concerto for cello, piano and string orchestra by Astor Piazzolla.
The event will inaugurate a new concert cycle of Sinfonietta Cracovia "Sinfonietta po krakowsku", in which the most talented Cracovian soloists will take part.
