soloist: Jakub Kościuszko (Poland) 

The programme includes:

Harvey Hope:

• The Lake from Three Symphonic Poems op. 52 for chamber orchestra
• Herastrau op. 51 for chamber orchestra
• De Madrugada op. 56 for guitar and chamber orchestra

The concert will familiarise the audience with the works of Harvey Hope – a guitarist, composer, teacher, writer and collector of instruments, who died in 2014. We will hear his pieces for orchestra as well as for guitar and orchestra. Hope’s music is characterised by clear emotions and recognizable style, referring primarily to Spanish music. Such a piece, referring to the famous Concierto de Aranjuez, is De Madrugada – a concertino for guitar and orchestra, which, among others, will be performed in Tychy. 

The result of the collaboration of the artists involved in the project is the album which will premiere at the Festival in Tychy. Another highlight of the evening will be the premiere of The Lake from Three Symphonic Poems Op. 52 – a composition for chamber orchestra.
