Kurpinski, published by the Fryderyk Chopin Institute.

WOJCIECH RODEK The Principal Conductor of the Polish Wieniawski Philharmonic Orchestra was born in 1977 in Brzeg, Poland, birthplace of legendary conductor, Kurt Masur. Wojciech Rodek is one of the most prominent conductors of his generation. Following the traditions of Silesian music culture cultivated in Wrocław, Otto Klemperer’s birthplace, he continues the best traditions of the Polish school of conducting. Remaining under the influence of the German performing tradition, during his studies in Moscow he studied under three of Russia’s leading conductors: Mark Ermler, Evgeny Svetlanov, and Yuri Simonov. He has been an assistant to Kurt Masur, Stanisław Skrowaczewski, Krzysztof Penderecki, Antoni Wit, Pinchas Steinberg, Marc Minkowski, and Charles Dutoit. Since 2005, he has been affiliated with the Polish Wieniawski Philharmonic Orchestra as its principal conductor. The Polish Wieniawski Philharmonic Orchestra and the conductor have established a special bond, involving mutual trust in intense development of a symphonic ensemble and nurturing the best sound features of the Central European style. Maestro Rodek was the Music Director of the Gliwice Music Theatre, Music Director of the Lower Silesian Philharmonic and Music Director of the Grand Opera Theatre in Łódź. He studied the piano from the age of eight in Namysłów and Wrocław. From 1998 to 2003, he studied conducting with professor Marek Pijarowski at the Karol Lipiński Academy of Music in Wrocław; he also learned Russian in the Pushkin State Russian Language Institute in Moscow and at the University of Wrocław. In 2005, he won a competition for the post of assistant conductor to Maestro Antoni Wit at the National Philharmonic in Warsaw, where he worked from 2005 to 2007. Currently, he teaches conducting at the Academy of Music in Wrocław. He holds a Doctor of Musical Arts degree and he is the winner of the 2nd prize at the 3rd National Witold Lutosławski Competition for Young Conductors (2002). In 2011, he was awarded the Polish Theatrical Music Award in the Best Conductor category. In 2015, he was awarded the Medal of the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage for “Merit to Culture-Gloria Artis.” He has conducted many of Europe’s leading orchestras, including the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra, the Sinfonia Varsovia, Polish Radio National Symphony Orchestra in Katowice, the Polish Radio Orchestra in Warsaw, the Cracow Philharmonic, the Wrocław Philharmonic, the Polish Baltic Sea Philharmonic, the Ankara Presidential Symphony Orchestra, the Antalya State Symphony Orchestra, the Izmir State Symphony, European Johann Strauss Orchestra, the Lviv Philharmonic Orchestra, Royal Camerata Bucharest, and the Ostrava Janacek Philharmonic Orchestra. He has worked with outstanding soloists, including Rafał Blechacz, Idil Biret, Gülsin Onay, Ingolf Wunder, Paweł Wakarecy, Lukas Geniušas, Alexandre

Dubach, Alexander Markov, Konstanty A. Kulka, Krzysztof Jakowicz, Agata Szymczewska, Piotr Pławner, Johannes Moser, and Gautier Capuçon. He prepared premieres for the Theatre Montansier in Versailles, the Wratislavia Cantans festival, The Grand Theatre-National Opera in Warsaw, the Grand Opera Theatre in Łódź, and the Wrocław Opera. He has performed in the most prestigious concert halls across Europe and China, including Dresden, Hamburg, Munich, Salzburg, Vienna, Zürich, Beijing, and Shanghai. He also took part in the most important classical music festivals. Mr. Rodek’s recordings primarily include forgotten Polish music, contemporary works, and music for film productions, such as Jan A. P. Kaczmarek’s music for City Island and Get Low (both 2009). Mr. Rodek believes in the necessity to introduce young people to the world of classical music. On his initiative, the Youth Orchestra of the Wieniawski Philharmonic was established, which brings together the most talented young musicians across Poland.

POLISH WIENIAWSKI PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA The Polish Wieniawski Philharmonic Orchestra was founded in December 1944. Its beginnings go back to numerous chamber and solo concerts given by musicians who, after World War II, established ties within Poland. The repertoire and artistic considerations, as well as the joy of making music together, led to a premiere chamber music concert, held on February 10, 1945 in the hall of the Music Society. This concert gave the impulse to extend the orchestra, and a classical music gala was held on May 18 of the same year – which was, at the same time, the first symphony concert in post-war Poland. The Polish Wieniawski Philharmonic Orchestra has gone on many concert tours. Performances in Italy, Switzerland, Spain, Sweden, Germany, South Korea, Denmark, and Ukraine were acclaimed both by the critics and the public. The orchestra participated in numerous international festivals and the Franco Ferrara Conductors’ Seminar in Siena. The Polish Wieniawski Philharmonic is the largest music institution in eastern Poland. It is visited not only by local music-lovers, but by cosmopolitan Polish and international patrons alike. This is a place where you can enjoy art of the highest quality. The Philharmonic offers symphony concerts, recitals, and organ and chamber music soirées performed by the most prominent Polish musicians and internationally acclaimed artists. The Polish Wieniawski Philharmonic is under the artistic direction of its principal conductor Wojciech Rodek. Zuzanna Dziedzic is the Deputy General Manager. Since 1944, the Polish Wieniawski Philharmonic has attracted a glittering list of prominent conductors, such as Krzysztof Penderecki, Antoni Wit, Kazimierz Kord, Philippe Herreweghe, Jerzy Maksymiuk, and Jan Krenz,

and soloists such as Sviatoslav Richter, David Oistrakh, Konstanty Andrzej Kulka, Wanda Wiłkomirska, Nigel Kennedy, Eugen Indjic, Rafał Blechacz, Kevin Kenner, Ingolf Wunder, Yulianna Avdeeva, Krzysztof Jakowicz, Roman Lasocki, Piotr Pławner, Bartłomiej Nizioł, Tomasz Strahl, Lukas Geniušas, Corina Marti, Vadim Brodski, Ilya Grubert, Georgijs Osokins, and many others. The huge repertoire of the Polish Wieniawski Philharmonic Orchestra encompasses compositions from Baroque to contemporary music. Concert programs include works by Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Wagner, Wieniawski, Bruckner, Mahler, Tchaikovsky, Dvořák, Stravinsky, Scriabin, Shostakovich, Lutosławski, Penderecki, and many others. The discography of the Polish Wieniawski Philharmonic Orchestra consists of many albums featuring outstanding artists. The Polish Wieniawski Philharmonic Orchestra has made more than 30 trips abroad, giving concerts in Austria, Denmark, Spain, the Netherlands, South Korea, Germany, Russia, Slovakia, Switzerland, Sweden, Hungary, and Italy, among others. During the concert tours, the Orchestra took part in many music festivals and collaborated with many symphony orchestras, such as the Vienna Philharmonic. The Orchestra’s upcoming plans include numerous concerts with Polish music, and recording of works by Józef Wieniawski and Władysław Żeleński. In December 2021, the Polish Wieniawski Philharmonic Orchestra performed a series of concerts in Prague, and between January and March 2022 it is undertaking its first tour of the U.S. The orchestra is accompanied on the U.S. tour by first prize-winners of the Chopin International Piano Competition and Wieniawski International Violin Competition. Tomasz Ritter, piano soloist, is performing for this evening’s performance at the Center for the Arts.
