Polish Wieniawski Philharmonic Orchestra
February 17, 2022 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
The Polish Wieniawski Philharmonic Orchestra was founded in December 1944,
but its beginnings go back to numerous chamber and solo concerts given by
musicians who, after World War II, established ties within Poland. The
repertoire and artistic considerations as well as the joy of making music
together led to a premiere chamber music concert Feb. 10, 1945. This
concert provided the momentum for an orchestra and a classical music gala
May 18 of the same year — the first symphony concert in post-war Poland.
Since then, the Polish Wieniawski Philharmonic Orchestra has gone on many
concert tours.
While at the Weis Center, the orchestra will perform Brahms: Variations on
a Theme of Haydn • Chopin: Piano Concerto No. 2 • Beethoven: Symphony No 5.
