THE GREAT ROMANTIC

Dedicated to mark the 250th anniversary of the birth of M. K. Oginski

Concert organized in cooperation with the POLISH INSTITUTE

Performers: LILIANNA ZALESIŃSKA (mezzo soprano, Poland)
PIOTR SZYMANOWICZ (piano, Poland)
A sigh of relief can be heard as soon as we hear the first sounds from the polonnaise “Farewell to my Homeland”. This work’s melody goes beyond the flow of time – listening to it, one is overcome by an inexplainable longing, gentleness, and melancholy...
Mykolas Kleopas Oginski most likely never even dreamt about such an achievement – he viewed his compositional abilities rather modestly, giving most of his attention to state service and the realization of his diplomatic goals.
It is a paradox, but it is precisely his musical legacy which has afforded him the most recognition and glory...
The renowned Polish singer Lilianna Zalesińska together with pianist Piotr Szymanowicz will transport you to a time full of romantic gaiety and deep experiences.
Programme - M. K. Oginski and others.

Concert duration: 80 min.
