The programme of a special concert of the Warsaw Philharmonic Choir on the 8th of May 2022 at 6 p.m. is an artistic response to the events we have been witnessing since the 24th of February 2022. At the concert hall of the Warsaw Philharmonic works by composers from Poland, Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia will be performed.
The concert repertoire is not only a musical call for peace (Pärt - Da pacem Domine, Vasks - Dona nobis pacem), not only a farewell to women, men and children - victims of Russian aggression against Ukraine (Ešenvalds - In paradisum), but above all a reminder that music, as a universal language, connects people regardless of their geographical boundaries, age, origin or religion.
Noteworthy is the variety of the concert repertoire - starting from the stylistically characteristic compositions of Arvo Pärt and Valentin Sylwestrow, through the works of Michał Ziółkowski and Łukasz Urbaniak - awarded young Polish composers, as well as works by Lesia Dyczko, Pēteris Vasks, Vytautas Miškinis and Ēraldis Miškinis, rooted in the musical traditions of the composers’ countries and performed by the best choirs in various parts of the world.
