K. PENDERECKI Chaccone (in memoria del Giovanni Paolo II) per archi
Z. KRAUZE Piano Concerto No. 3 Fragments of Memory
J. ELSNER Symphony in C major Op. 11

The leading theme of the concert is the presence and role of man in the modern world. Krzysztof Penderecki’s Chaccone, dedicated to the Holy Father, John Paul II, the last movement of the Polish Requiem reflects human life – existence, duration, culmination, departure and transcendence. The ideological underpinning of Zygmunt Krauze’s Piano Concerto No. 3, commissioned by the Warsaw Autumn Festival, is discord with the realities of the contemporary world. The concert will be complemented by a rediscovered Symphony by Elsner.
