Yesterday, 1 October, we inaugurated the 15th edition of the Michał Spisak International Music Competition with a concert by Japanese violinist Seina Matsuoka and the Jerzy Semkow Polish Orchestra Sinfonia Iuventus conducted by Joanna Natalia Ślusarczyk. The concert was held in the Theatre Hall of the Zagłębie Palace of Culture in cooperation with the PWM as part of the TUTTI.PL programme. The event was one of the programme points of the 5th Michał Spisak International Festival.

After the opening ceremony of the competition by representatives of the organisers and co-organisers, the concert programme included Michał Spisak’s Three Miniatures for Small Orchestra, Karol Szymanowski’s Violin Concerto No. 2, Op. 61, and Antonín Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9 from ‘The New World’ in E minor, Op. 95.
