"POLISH REQUIEM" – A VERY SPECIAL CONCERT TO CLOSE THE CELEBRATIONS OF KRZYSZTOF PENDERECKI'S 90TH BIRTHDAY
Krzysztof Penderecki said of the Polish Requiem: 'The Polish element is particularly strong in this work,' referring to the turning points in the history of the Polish nation that served as inspiration for the individual parts of the mass. Considered one of Krzysztof Penderecki's greatest compositions, it was first performed in Stuttgart in 1984. Almost 40 years later, in the year of the maestro's 90th birthday, the Requiem will be performed in Lusławice.
