"Great Composers – Great Anniversaries" is a Toruń Symphony Orchestra's project to commemorate artists who celebrate important anniversaries in 2021. The concert on 2 October at 6 p.m. in the CKK Jordanki Rehearsal Room will be devoted to Gustav Mahler.
The project celebrates the following anniversaries: the 280th anniversary of the death of A. Vivaldi, the 100th anniversary of the death of C. Saint-Saëns, the 50th anniversary of the death of I. Stravinsky, the 230th anniversary of the death of W.A. Mozart, the 100th anniversary of the death of W. Żeleński, the 120th anniversary of the death of G. Verdi, and the 110th anniversary of the death of G. Mahler.
The song is the oldest musical genre next to the dance. It results from the combination of poetic word and music and it reflects the history of music from primitive cultures to the 21st century. Bohdan Pociej wrote: "If there is any indestructible element of musicality in a person, then song is its seed." The upcoming concert will feature not only songs by Gustav Mahler, but also by outstanding Romantic composers: Johannes Brahms and Stanisław Moniuszko, performed by Agata Schmidt (mezzo-soprano) and Bartłomiej Wezner.
Co-financed under the "Music" programme carried out by the National Institute of Music and Dance.
