The final concert of the festival is a kind of aural experiment and also a complement to the opening one. This time the audience will not take part in the performance, but during the concert they will be able to… sit among the orchestra, chair to chair with the Sinfonia Varsovia’s musicians. The unusual formula of the concert – three shorter parts and two longer intermissions – will allow participants to change their seat and gain new listening perspective. The repertoire has been selected to show the audience the different groups of instruments and allow to feel the energy and tension in the music from the inside in the best possible way. The entire event will be artistically overseen by British conductor Joolz Gale, experienced in such innovative projects, and hosted by Janusz Marynowski, director of Sinfonia Varsovia.
