The Polish Sinfonia Iuventus Orchestra is delighted to announce an extraordinary concert dedicated to the profound musical legacy of Mieczysław Weinberg, beautifully paired with two contemporary works by Grammy Award-winning producer and composer Michael Fine. This special evening bridges historical memory and modern reflection through the expressive voice of the clarinet and a string orchestra. The concert is planned for Friday, November 13 at 19:00, and will take place at the Concert Hall of “Nowa Miodowa”, located at 21 Rakowiecka Street in Warsaw, Poland. The curated repertoire creates an intimate dialogue between Weinberg’s intense, emotional mid-20th-century masterpieces and Michael Fine’s evocative modern compositions. Michael Fine, who is respected globally for his deep understanding of classical music, brings a unique lyrical sensitivity to the program. His featured works, Canzone for Clarinet and String Orchestra and Finding Home for String Orchestra, frame Weinberg’s Clarinet Concerto, Op. 104 and Chamber Symphony No. 4, Op. 153, exploring shared themes of identity, longing, and the search for belonging. This exceptional musical journey will be brought to life by the talented musicians of Sinfonia Iuventus under the baton of Maestro Wojciech Rodek, featuring the acclaimed clarinet soloist Krzysztof Grzybowski.
