Titled “Sacrum and profanum”, the upcoming 515th Poznań Concert (University Auditorium, Saturday, 9 November 2024, 6 p.m.) promises to be a very interesting event, as – one might say – music lovers will be invited to visit two musical worlds in one evening.

Furthermore, it is the first concert to be broadcast on the Poznań Philharmonic’s YouTube channel (broadcast starts at 6 p.m.).

The opening part of the concert belongs to the Poznań Nightingales Boys and Men’s Choir of the Poznań Philharmonic, which celebrates its 85th anniversary. Under the baton of the ensemble’s conductor, Maciej Wieloch, the choristers will perform eight vocal pieces of early and modern music, ranging from Wacław of Szamotuły to Mikołaj Gomółka to Stefan Stuligrosz and Marek Raczyński.

The second part of the evening features two pieces by Andrzej Panufnik: Nocturne for Orchestra and Fantasia for Piano and Orchestra, of which the latter is the Polish premiere performance. The soloist of this part of the concert, the British pianist Clare Hammond, will also perform Concert Rondo for Piano and Orchestra, KV 382 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Poznań Philharmonic Orchestra will be led by Łukasz Borowicz, the ensemble’s principal conductor.

Streaming of concert subsidised by European Union under NextGenerationEU plan.
