The concerts took place in Katowice on November 19 (NOSPR Concert Hall), in Wrocław on November 20 (National Forum of Music) and finally, in Dresden on November 21 (Hochschule für Musik Carl Maria von Weber). Under the direction of Marek Pijarowski, the young musicians presented Academic Festival Overture, Op. 80 by Johannes Brahms, Violin Concerto in A major, Op. 8 by Mieczysław Karłowicz, Don Juan, Op. 20 by Richard Strauss and Suite No. 2 “Daphnis et Chloe” by Maurice Ravel, in collaboration with violinist Jacek Ropski and the Feichtinum Choir of the Academy of Music in Wrocław.
