From 12 November to 6 December, we will once again have the opportunity to experience the music of Central and Eastern Europe across Poland: from Ko\u0142obrzeg and Szczecin, through Warsaw and \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, to Opole and Katowice. Today, we are announcing three concerts from this year\u2019s programme, which will take place at the Warsaw Philharmonic. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

For years, the Eufonie Festival has been building its programme around the musical identity of Central and Eastern Europe. The region\u2019s complex history, distinctive cultural landscape, and deep spirituality form the thematic axis around which the festival programme is built each year. Through the shared experience of listening to music, the Eufonie Festival invites audiences to discover the countries of the region, including Poland, through the works of various composers, talented performers, and a rich diversity of musical styles. <\/p>\n\n

Three of the nearly thirty events planned in this year\u2019s programme are symphonic concerts in the Concert Hall of the Warsaw Philharmonic<\/a>. There, on Wednesday, 18 November<\/strong>, the Silesian Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Yaroslav Shemet<\/a> will perform works by, among others, Zygmunt Krauze \u2013 an excellent Polish composer, who will also take to the stage as soloist in his Piano Concerto No. 2. His composition Spr\u00f3buj opiewa\u0107 okaleczony \u015bwiat<\/em> (Try to Praise the Mutilated World) for soprano and symphony orchestra will receive its world premiere performance, in which the solo part will be sung by Joanna K\u0119dzior. <\/p>\n\n

On the birthday of Krzysztof Penderecki, Monday, 23 November<\/strong>, the Warsaw Philharmonic will be filled with the sounds and voices of the Credo<\/em> \u2013 the last of his major works yet to be presented at the Eufonie Festival. Under the baton of Micha\u0142 Klauza, it will be performed by the Orchestra and the Choir of the Karol Szymanowski Philharmonic in Krak\u00f3w, the Boys\u2019 and Girls\u2019 Choir of the Krak\u00f3w Philharmonic, and the Ukrainian Children\u2019s Choir of the Krak\u00f3w Philharmonic. Orkiestra wraz z Ch\u00f3rem Filharmonii im. Karola Szymanowskiego w Krakowie <\/a>the Boys\u2019 and Girls\u2019 Choir of the Krak\u00f3w Philharmonic, and the Ukrainian Children\u2019s Choir of the Krak\u00f3w Philharmonic.<\/p>\n\n

The third of the announced concerts at the Warsaw Philharmonic is an invitation to celebrate the culture of Latvia with an orchestra from Liep\u0101ja<\/a> \u2013 a city that will hold the title of European Capital of Culture 2027. On Friday, 27 November<\/strong>, on the occasion of the 80th birthday of Latvian composer P\u0113teris Vasks, the Liep\u0101ja Symphony Orchestra will perform his violin concerto Vox Amoris<\/em>. The programme of the event will also include works by Jean Sibelius and Henryk Miko\u0142aj G\u00f3recki. <\/p>\n\n

The full programme of this year\u2019s edition, to be announced soon, will also feature Altersounds, the festival\u2019s alternative strand. It is aimed at audiences seeking musical experimentation, where classical music meets electronics, folklore intertwines with the avant-garde, and intimate clubs and sacred spaces take precedence over grand concert halls. This year, Altersounds will focus on film and television music, inviting listeners (and viewers) into the world of classic films by Andrzej Wajda as well as contemporary productions, including television series, as part of the celebrations marking the centenary of the Oscar-winning director\u2019s birth. <\/p>\n\n

The programme will also include chamber concerts and the second edition of Little Eufonie \u2013 workshops for the youngest audience, encouraging them to listen to and create music together. This year, the Eufonie Festival will visit the West Pomeranian Voivodeship and the Grand Theatre in \u0141\u00f3d\u017a for the first time. This autumn, the festival will also expand to new venues, including the atmospheric SPATiF Club and the cosmic space of the Planetarium at the Copernicus Science Centre. <\/p>\n\n
