Under the honorary patronage of Ministry of Culture and National Heritage and the governor of Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship and Kielce, the 25th edition of the Świętokrzystkie Voivodeship Days of Music Festival will take place from March 4–April 7 at the Świętokrzyskie Philharmonic. This year’s program includes a number of symphonic and chamber concerts, film screenings and exhibitions.
The opening concert on March 24 will feature recent Grammy award winner Maestro Krzysztof Penderecki conducting his own works: Hymn do Św. Wojciecha, Agnus Dei, Stabat Mater, Hymn do Św. Daniela and Symphony No. 2 (Kielce premiere). On April 2, soprano Joanna Freszel will perform three world premieres of Polish music (J. Siwiński’s Ornitologia, A. M. Huszcza’s Owadologia, and A. Robak’s Odpływy) with the New Music Orchestra (OMN), under the baton of Szymon Bywalec. On April 4, Beata Bilińska and the Krakowski Kwintet Dęty will present the world premiere of Z. Bargielski’s Piano Sextet.Concerts will also include several other Kielce premieres of works by Polish composers, including Paderewski, Chopin, Moniuszko and Lutosławski.
The Świętokrzystkie Voivodeship Days of Music Festival was established in the 60’s by the former director of Kielce Philharmonic, Karol Anbild, with the aim of promoting Polish music. After 30 years of break in organizing the festival, the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship Days of Music was revived by Polish conductor and composer Szymon Kawalla; since 2002, the festival has been directed by Jacek Rogala, whose aim is to promote Polish music with the particular emphasis on the works which had never been performed in Kielce before.
