The concert, a testimony of Polish solidarity with Ukraine, dedicated to the 104th anniversary of the restoration of Poland's independence, will lead the audience along the musical paths of both recognized masterpieces - classics and contemporary, as well as works that are just gaining their popularity. It will be held within the XI International Festival "Discovering Paderewski". Bach's Clavier Concerto in D minor, despite the breadth of inner dynamism and depth of dramatic experience, demonstrates the subtlety of the composer's writing.
Through the centuries, Bach's sophistication in the most characteristic colours of the sound of the solo instrument and its balance with the orchestra remains a standard for imitation and admiration. Stankovych's Chamber Symphony No. 3 will allow listeners to feel the breath of another era, in which, despite the cruelty of wars and the dominance of dictates, the intimate monologue of the artist tremblingly grows. In 1985, it was recognized as one of the ten best symphonies by the International Tribune of Composers at UNESCO. No less expected is the performance of the Chamber Concerto for Accordion and Strings by Polish composer of the middle generation Majkusiak.
An important part of the program will be the works of two representatives of the older generation of Polish composers, Ignacy Jan Paderewski and Karol Szymanowski. What does musical solidarity manifest itself in? The incessant orchestral movement present in each piece of the program is contrasted or combined with the voices of solo instruments - sometimes anxious, sometimes sick, sometimes joyful... So Man is constantly looking for his own points of contact with the rapid flow of life, finding the desired unity and commonality, and outlining his own differences.
