Sunday, October 13, 2024, 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM
Concert Hall of the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music, Okólnik 2, Warsaw
On the 100th anniversary of the Polish Society of Contemporary Music, we invite you to the jubilee concerts!
In a remarkable place - at the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music, the concert 'Images from Warsaw' will take place.
The concert will evoke memories of pre-war, no longer existing Warsaw in its material and social aspect. The narrative and music will also be strongly connected to the 80th anniversary of the outbreak of the Warsaw Uprising - an uprising that became the final dividing line separating the history of the capital into two very different chapters.
PERFORMERS
PTMW Chamber Ensemble
Sławek A. Wróblewski – conductor
Karolina Paczyńska – historical commentary
PROGRAM
🎵 Anna Ignatowicz-Glińska - 'The Magazine of Women's and Men's Fashions'
The composition refers to the famous pre-World War I Fashion House of Bogusław Herse, a symbol of global style and elegance in Warsaw at that time.
🎵 Ryszard Osada - 'Remembrance. Warsaw 1939'
The historical context of this composition is the famous, now non-existent Staniewski Brothers' Circus, a huge rotunda with a performance hall for about 3,000 seats, equipped with advanced technical facilities (water shows, boxing matches), also rented for large conferences and party meetings.
The building was bombed in the first days of September 1939, was never rebuilt, and in its place now stands the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music.
🎵 Jarosław Siwiński - 'Via Caelestis'
The composition refers to the tragic explosion of a bomb in the Church of St. Francis of Assisi in the New Town during the Warsaw Uprising.
All pieces will be accompanied by short introductions prepared and led by the outstanding Warsaw guide Karolina Paczyńska.
We invite you!
