We are proud to announce that in the 5th National Competition for French Horn Players, held in December in Łódź, the musicians of Poznań Philharmonic Orchestra received main awards. Monika Paprocka-Całus got 1st prize, while Marcin Chrzanowski – the 2nd. Our sincere congratulations to the laureates!

„Songs from Wielkopolskie Uprising times” and a work dedicated to the heroes of the Uprising, written one hundred years after this event, can be found on the album recently released by Poznań Philharmonic – “Wielkopolska 1918 Symphony”. It begins with eight songs from the Wielkopolskie Uprising times, in new arrangements prepared by young composers (Jan Krutul, Dominik Puk, Marek Raczyński and Jakub Szafrański). The pieces, same as the titular “Wielkopolska 1918 Symphony” written by Marek Sewen, were commissioned by the Poznań Philharmonic.

Poznan Chamber Choir conducted by Bartosz Michałowski recorded the songs, while the Symphony was performed by Poznań Philharmonic Orchestra and Poznań Nightingales led by Łukasz Borowicz.

In the album’s booklet, alongside the information on the works, composers and performers, you can also find a passage on the Wielkopolskie Uprising, the course of events and its meaning for the history of Poland, as well as photo archives from hundred years ago. The premiere of the album, which was released by DUX phonographic label, takes place on the 29th of December 2018 in the AMU Concert Hall at 6 p.m. during a concert entitled “Wielkopolska 1918 Symphony”.

The album can be purchased during the concerts of Poznań Philharmonic and in good music stores.

…VALUABLE AWARDS. Four recently announced nominations to International Classical Music Awards for Polish artists should not pass unnoticed. One of the most valued is for Łukasz Borowicz and Poznań Philharmonic Orchestra for the recording of two Feliks Nowowiejski’s symphonies, as he is another composer of the last century, whose music is worth remembering…

The excerpt derives from an article by Jacek Marczyński, the reviewer of Rzeczpospolita newspaper, in which he pays tribute to the album recorded by Poznań Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Łukasz Borowicz and released by DUX label. The album is the world phonographic premiere of both of Feliks Nowowiejski’s works.
