Concerts abroad to honour Poland’s independence, composers
WARSAW, Poland — Poland’s largest music publisher is commemorating the centennial of the country’s independence by hosting concerts abroad that highlight the work of modern Polish composers.
The 11 concerts — a number chosen to represent the Nov. 11 Independence Day — are scheduled to take place Sunday in London, Melbourne, New York, Paris, Tokyo and other cities.
The shows will feature music written in the past 100 years by Polish composers such as Henryk Mikolaj Gorecki, Wojciech Kilar, Krzysztof Penderecki and Karol Szymanowski.
Ensembles from outside Poland and singers who specialize in modern music will present the pieces and helped choose the ones they will perform.
