We were deeply saddened to hear that on the 29th of March 2020 at the age of 86 Krzysztof Penderecki died – a prominent Polish composer, one of the icons of Polish culture, an artist associated with Poznan Philharmonic for many years.

Maestro, you will always be among us, just like on the day of your 79th birthday, when you conducted our orchestra at the premiere Polish performance of the Concert for violin, viola and orchestra.

We would like to express our heartfelt condolences to the closest family and friends for their loss

Wojciech Nentwig along with the Poznan Philharmonic ensembles and the staff
