InConcert - January 2020

PRESENTATION
and recording sessions. The orchestra’s
involvement in educational activities does
not only focus on concerts for schoolchildren
and youth, but also extends to collaborations
with the Karol Lipiński Academy of Music,
as well as participating in its own programs:
Orchestral Academy and Choral Academy.
Thanks to its collaborations with festivals
presented by the National Forum of Music
such as Jazztopad and Musica Electronica
Nova, the NFM Wrocław Philharmonic enjoys
regular collaborations with some leading avant
garde and jazz artists. In recent seasons, these
included John Zorn, Wynton Marsalis with
Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, and Terje
Rypdal. A CD featuring the NFM Wrocław
Philharmonic’s concert with Rypdal was
released on the prestigious ECM label.
The orchestra enjoyed a long collaboration
with Jacek Kaspszyk, who, during his sevenyear
tenure as principal conductor and artistic
director (2006-13), contributed greatly to
the ensemble’s development. Subsequently,
between 2013-16, the orchestra worked with
Benjamin Shwartz, with whom the ensemble
began a recording series dedicated to the
work of contemporary Polish composers. The
first disc with the symphonic works of Paweł
Mykietyn was released in the spring of 2017.
Well known for its commitment to
presenting the 20th- and 21st-century
symphonic repertoire, the NFM Wrocław
Philharmonic regularly performs works
commissioned by and for the National Forum
of Music. The orchestra is currently recording
the complete works of its patron, Witold
Lutosławski, for the CD Accord label. A
recording of Symphonies Nos. 2 & 4 conducted
by Jacek Kaspszyk won a Fryderyk award of
the Polish Phonographic Academy in 2011;
this was followed in 2013 with Symphony No.
1 and the Concerto for Orchestra, conducted
by Stanisław Skrowaczewski. The orchestra
regularly performs in prominent venues in
Poland, as well as touring Europe and the U.S.
