Voices of The Mountains in Carnegie Hall

Voices of The Mountains in Carnegie Hall.

They say friends may meet, but mountains never greet… The Polish National Opera will once again prove the old adage not to be true. This time at Carnegie Hall in New York City! Held on November 14th, 2018, at 8pm EST, the concert will present a thrilling programme of classical pieces tinged with traditional folk music of the Polish highlands enriched with the sound of drum&bass and jazz. Written by Karol Szymanowski, Henryk Mikołaj Górecki and Wojciech Kilar, the music will be performed by a star-studded lineup featuring Poland’s world-class charismatic conductor Jerzy Maksymiuk, awe-inspiring Polish pianist Janusz Olejniczak, brilliant folk singer-songwriter Sebastian Karpiel-Bułecka, and exciting representatives of the Polish jazz and contemporary classical music scene: Jan Smoczyński, the Atom String Quartet, Jan Młynarski, Michał Barański and the Neo String Quartet.
