Britten

If wind and water could write music, it would sound like Britten’s.

The inauguration of the Sinfonietta Cracovia artistic season will be filled entirely with sounds conceived by a single composer: Benjamin Britten. This monographic programme features works for an a capella choir, a brilliant piece performed by strings, as well as a composition brimming with the fullness of the combined instrumental and vocal sound created by the British composer. One composer, yet a full range of musical emotions!

Two leading Polish ensembles will join forces for this presentation: the Orchestra of the Capital Royal City of Krakow Sinfonietta Cracovia conducted by its artistic director and first conductor Katarzyna Tomala-Jedynak, and the Polish Radio Choir conducted by Maria Piotrowska-Bogalecka and assisted by women’s and boys’ choirs. Brilliant soloists Karol Kozłowski (tenor) and Michał Rot (piano) complete the lineup.
