On 18 January 2000 the National Philharmonics of Ukraine will see a unique soiree dedicated to Karol Szimanowski, the great Polish composer of the early 20th century. K.Szymanowski is the brightest star in the constellation of both Polish and Ukrainian culture. His music is peculiar and full of color. It is genuinely romantic and exquisitely lyrical, which for over a hundred years has amazed and inspired the audiences of true music lovers of the most renowned philharmonic halls throughout the world. The Kiev music lovers and arts amateurs will have a rare opportunity to hear all of K.Szymanowski's chamber pieces: the only sonata for the violin and the piano; amazingly colorful the "Three Myths, "Paganini Caprices" and the Violin Concerto No. 1.
A truly invaluable gift was the first and the only performance in Kiev of the Concerto Overture, whose score was a courtesy of the world famous editorial house UNIVERSAL EDITION A.G. thanks to mediation of the Embassy of Austria In Ukraine and Austria Kreditanstalt Bank Ukraine.
In the foyer of the Lysenko Hall of Columns the Polish Institute in Kiev will extend an exhibition of contemporary Polish posters devoted to Polish people of culture of the late 19th - early 20th century.
The event is sponsored by
