The Warsaw Philharmonic is the leading orchestra of Poland and has had a long and distinguished history since its foundation in 1901. Tonight it is conducted by its artistic director Antoni Wit, whose recordings with the Orchestra on the Naxos label have sold over three million copies worldwide.

The programme will open with two of Brahms' lively Hungarian Dances.   This will be followed by Kuba Jakowicz, in a performance of Mendelssohn's much-loved violin concerto.  You may remember Kuba Jakowicz' wonderful performance of the Dvořák Violin Concerto when he visited Bradford with the Orchestra in 2008. 

The centrepiece of this programme is Beethoven's timeless Fifth Symphony, best known for its dramatic 'V for Victory' opening. Completing this generous programme are the atmospheric 'Three Pieces in the Old Style' by the popular Polish composer Henryk Górecki, composer of the popular Symphony of Sorrowful Songs, and two of Brahms's energetic Hungarian Dances.
