Entitled “Voices of the Mountains”, the concert focuses on Polish highland culture and traditions, as reflected in the music of Karol Szymanowski, Mieczysław Karłowicz, Wojciech Kilar and Henryk Mikołaj Górecki.
The folk music of the Polish Tatra highlanders was an source of inspiration for the composers.
Vocalist Sebastian Karpiel-Bułecka and his Highlanders Quartet will be among the featured musicians.
The concert will also include Chopin’s Scherzo No. 1, performed by Polish pianist Janusz Olejniczak.
