Rubinstein, Szymanowski, Karłowicz, Szeluto, Różycki, Fitelberg… But what links these artists? As well as historical proximity, they were all under the patronage of Count Władysław Lubomirski. The great admirer of art supported a whole generation of musicians, helping them achieve success.
The Lubomirski Festival commemorates the generous aristocrat and talented composer himself. Kraków joins the ranks of Warsaw, Lublin, Łańcut, Lviv and Vienna as host cities of festival events. We will hear Piotr Sałajczyk on piano accompanied by the Sinfonia Varsovia orchestra (19 October, Nowa Huta Cultural Centre), the AUKSO - Chamber Orchestra of the City of Tychy (21 October, Ludowy Theatre) and the Lviv Philharmonic Orchestra with two performances: joined by Bartłomiej Nizioł and by the Galician Chamber Choir (both 22 October, Nowa Huta Cultural Centre). The repertoire is dominated by works by Polish composers, those supported by Lubomirski and his contemporaries such as Władysław Żeleński and Henryk Pachulski.
