Program
Johannes Brahms
Piano Concerto No. 2 in B-flat major
Mieczysław Weinberg
Symphony No. 21 "Kaddish" (Dedicated to the victims of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising of 1943)
A symphony like a book - comparisons are sometimes misleading, but you would not be wrong to compare the symphony "Kaddish" by the Polish composer Weinberg with a monumental novel. One that traces an entire epoch, with many characters, situations and voices. Varied and so exciting that you don't want to stop reading - in this case, listening. "Kaddish" is dedicated to the victims of the Warsaw Uprising in 1943, in which many of the composer's relatives also lost their lives. So tragedy, sadness and despair define the music, but music always leaves hope: by awakening feelings, it also awakens the human in us.
The concerts on 10 and 11 MAY will take place as part of the commemoration of 80 years since the end of the Second World War and will also be performed in Wrocław.
They continue the cooperation between the Dresden Philharmonic and the NFM Wrocław Philharmonic.
