On March 13, the Warsaw National Philharmonic will celebrate the 80th birthday of Maestro Tadeusz Strugała, who has long been associated with the Philharmonic and continues to serve as deputy Artisitic Director and permanent guest conductor. Since his career began 60 years ago, as an oboist with the Wrocław Symphony Orchestra, Strugała has been a vigorous organizer of musical life—not only in Poland, but around the world.
