Gdańsk Music Festival

Gdańsk Music Festival 2011 is a continuation of a project which was realized for the first time in 2008. It is the effect of a contest organized by the City of Gdańsk and the need of its creation was linked i.a. with centuries lasting musical traditions of Gdańsk and the actual, often not exploited creative potential of people and societies from Gdańsk and its institutions.

The form of the festival is open. By design it links traditions with present day, it distinguishes with the variety of music specializations and while proposing to the audience the performances of the world famous artists it promotes also talented youth. The influence on every edition of the festival has its message and an Artist in Residence. In 2009 a composer Elżbieta Sikora has agreed to take this function, and in 2010, in Frederic Chopin's year it was a prominent pianist, laureate of Xth International F. Chopin Competition in Warsaw - Ewa Pobłocka, in 2011 artist in residence will become one of the most prominent stars of Polish vocalistic Stefania Toczyska.

Gdańsk Music Festiwal 2011 will be inaugurated with G. Verdi's Requiem with Stefania Toczyska and genuine Philharmonic Choir from Sankt Petersburg. In the end there will perform legendary Collegium Vocale Gent and Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin. The concert will be conducted by Daniel Reuss and we will hear "Der Tod Jesu" by C.H.Graun.

There will also tak place Vocal Gala which will be lead by one of the most outstanding Polish conductors - Tadeusz Wojciechowski. A concert of one of currently the best European orchestras Slovak National Philharmonic from Bratislava under the baton of Czech conductor, Leos Svarovsky with a pianist - Marian Lapsansky will also be a significant event, famous Chamber Orchestra from Bratislava established by Bohumil Warchal and the orthodox men St.Ephraim Choir from Budapest, which in the year of Franz Liszt will present the unqiue pieces of this great composer.

On Gdańsk Music Festival 2011 there will also take place a jubillee concert of Cappella Gedanensis, a concert of contemporary Gdańsk composers "The New Sounds of Gdańsk" and a master class of chamber music interpretation lead by Moscow Piano Trio musicians. A concert of a laureate of International F. Chopin Competition in Warsaw - Ingolf Wunder and Polish Pianists Festival in Słupsk is also planned. The programme of Gdańsk Music Festiwal will be predominated by vocal music - in view of the Artist of Residence, but also it will be the festival of contrasts. Not only because of the diversity of presented epochs and genres, but also the sizes of the orchestras participating in it.
