Double Dvořák: gripping and transcendent

Musicus Fest 2024 draws to a close with a grand finale concert featuring renowned cellist and Musicus Society Artistic Director Trey Lee and Sinfonia Varsovia from Poland. Founded in 1984, with Yehudi Menuhin as its first guest conductor, Sinfonia Varsovia has worked with the world’s greatest musicians as its music directors, including the celebrated Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki. It has garnered awards for its 300 recordings such as the Grand prix du disque Frédéric Chopin and the Diapason d’Or. As part of its 40th anniversary celebration in 2024, Sinfonia Varsovia is touring Asia with award-winning German conductor Alexander Liebreich, who is here reunited with Trey Lee, to perform works by the Czech master Antonín Dvořák and another distinguished Polish composer Witold Lutosławski.

“Working with no other orchestra gave me as much satisfaction as my work, as soloist and conductor, with Sinfonia Varsovia” – the late Yehudi Menuhin

Dvořák’s Cello Concerto in B minor was the composer’s favorite of his own concertos and is often regarded as his unofficial tenth symphony. The second work performed will be Lutosławski’s folk-inflected Little Suite, dating from 1951 and one of the most frequently performed Polish works of its day. Closing the concert will be Dvořák’s darkly majestic Symphony No. 7, a fitting performance in a year that marks the 120th anniversary of the composer’s death.

This special performance brings together two composers renowned for their reworking of Central European folk melodies and is not to be missed.
