a few words about the orchestra
The Polish National Wind Orchestra and its conductor create a “palette of music colours” never heard before. Mariusz Dziubek says:
– This happens when we proudly present patriotic music on the Independence Day; when the audience and stars of the Polish music scene sing together with the Polish National Wind Orchestra the most beautiful Christmas carols, broadcast on national television; when we draw the audience into the magical world of film, combining the sounds of famous soundtracks with the beauty of nature; when, accompanied by the star of the Metropolitan Opera, we present the beauty and great value of Puccini’s works; when we hear a new version of Ravel’s Bolero; and finally when, together with Grubson, we entertain the whole Poland, the old and young alike, creating a peculiar artistic melting pot: wind orchestra & hip hop! Can you get much better than this? Yes! You can rediscover the work of a great Pole, which has been forgotten in his native country, the work of Maestro Krzysztof Penderecki. As a memorial!
