Polovtsian Dances

In recent years, Polish conductor Joanna Natalia Ślusarczyk’s career has merited close attention. In 2019, as proof of her very special qualities, she was chosen for the Mentoring Programme with composer Peter Eötvös. For this concert, in addition to more familiar pieces by Saint-Saëns, Debussy and Borodin, she will introduce works by two of her most notable contemporaries. She will direct Overture for Orchestra by Grazyna Bacewicz, written in 1943 during the German occupation of Poland, and Orawa by Wojciech Kilar, a work inspired by the namesake region next to the Slovakian border and elements of folk music.
