On 14 April, the Jerzy Semkow Polish Sinfonia Iuventus Orchestra will participate once again in the Ludwig van Beethoven Easter Festival. The festival takes place every year since 1997 during the period just before Easter. Since 2004 it is held in Warsaw (formerly it took place in Krakow). The festival programme includes symphonic concerts, chamber performances and recitals featuring world-famous ensembles, directors and soloists. Each edition takes a new perspective on Beethoven’s works, illustrating his inspirations, the influence of his music on creators of other eras, as well as on contemporary art and the world today. Every year, the festival programme is organised around a central theme; in 2022, this theme is “Beethoven – the father of the great symphony”.

The programme of the evening will be linked to the festival theme by presenting great symphonies of late Romanticism for which Beethoven has always been an important point of reference: the legendary Symphony No. 9 in E minor From the New World, the last oeuvre of Antonín Dvořák, inspired by his stay in the USA, and an extensive symphonic poem in triptych form by Mieczysław Karłowicz – Eternal Songs.
