Witold Lutosławski World Days is a new, special initiative commemorating the great Polish composer and patron of the National Forum of Music - Witold Lutosławski. Between the anniversaries of the artist's birth and death, as part of an international project carried out every three years, concerts will be held during which various works of the composer will be performed. The first edition will take place from the 27th of January to the 3rd of February, 2023, in the time of the 110th anniversary of Lutosławski’s birth.
The idea behind the project is to promote Lutosławski's work. As part of the next edition of the event, four concerts will be held, during which world-class musicians will appear on stage, including Garrick Ohlsson the winner of the 8th International Fryderyk Chopin Piano Competition, or the Australian violinist and conductor, artistic director of the Australian Chamber Orchestra, Richard Tognetti. Among the performers there will also be musicians from the ensembles of the National Forum of Music - NFM Wrocław Philharmonic under the direction of Maestro Giancarlo Guerrero, NFM Leopoldinum Orchestra, Lutosławski Quartet, LutosAir Quintet, as well as choirs: the NFM Girls' Choir and the NFM Boys' Choir.
The catalogue of Lutosławski's works includes, among others Symphony No. 3, Partita, commissioned by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, referring to the pre-classical 18th-century tradition of instrumental music, Partita, Livre pour orchester, in which the artist reached for controlled aleatorism, as well as songs for children.
