Jerzy Semkow Sinfonia Iuventus Polish Orchestra - Polska Orkiestra Sinfonia Iuventus

I think back to yesterday’s concert in Warsaw, where I conducted the Sinfonia Iuventus orchestra. This is a magnificent ensemble of young artists who gave their all, rising to the heights of musical artistry both in accompanying Hubert Salwarowski in Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 5 and in creating Franck’s Symphony in D minor. Their talent and passion that I experienced will stay in my memory forever! My warmest thanks!.

These few words are to tell you how impressed I was by the Iuventus Orchestra’s performance of Karol Szymanowski’s Symphony No. 3 at the Beethoven Festival. […] The performance was magnificent. Everything was in order here: the subtle refined lyricism, the neo-romantic ecstasy and the impressionistic colour. […] It was simply a musical feast for me.

Never have I heard such a moving performance of this symphony. I left the concert full of emotions. And I am still thinking about it, even though I am writing to you already a good week after the concert. Ah, those climaxes with the magnificent fortissimos of the horns will stay in my memory for a long time. But I wouldn’t want to be unfair, I wouldn’t want to single out any of the musicians. The Iuventus Orchestra, which I like so much and which has played a lot of my music, fully rose to the occasion. Please pass on my deepest appreciation to the musicians.

The musicians of Sinfonia Iuventus are full of energy, passion, professional and wonderful sound. Hope to collaborate with them many times in the next future.

Enchanting Performance, Unforgettable Experience! Performing alongside the Polish Sinfonia Iuventus Orchestra in Radziejowice on June 25 was an absolute delight. Their passionate rendition of Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 5 was truly mesmerizing. The orchestra’s enthusiasm and warmth made the experience even more special.

A remarkable ensemble that leaves a lasting impression. Bravo!

Once again I can only extol virtuous praise on the outstanding professional young musicians of the Sinfonia Iuventus.

I have conducted this ensemble and its different constellations for various projects over nearly 12 years, and each time I am awed by the amazing talent, professionalism, engagement, enthusiasm and musicality of this orchestra. I am impressed how easily these musicians can master even the most difficult repertoire while remaining true to the score. They are world class in every respect and are the key to a successful musical future in Poland and on the international scene.

Bravo to the Director Piotr Baron and congratulations to all the musicians of Sinfonia Iuventus!

My dear friends of the orchestra – my heartfelt congratulations on your super playing on the 14th May in the Royal Castle. Performing with such wonderful stage with Handel’s music after only 4 days of rehealsals was an outstanding achievement.

I wish you all great future success in all your musical adventure.

With gratitude for the fact that you are there. This makes the work of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, which has the honour of taking care of you, extra meaningful.

With wishes for many more years of success and satisfaction on your 15th anniversary.
