This activity will focus on the creative process of Polish avant-garde composer Krzysztof Eugeniusz Penderecki.
Polish conductor Janusz Marynowski, Polish cellist Michal Dmochowski, and Spanish cellist Orfilia Saiz Vega, who will be performing with the Bilbao Symphony Orkestra (BOS) in April will discuss about Penderecki (b. 1933; d. 2020 in a dialogue hosted by Borja Pujol, Technical Director of BOS.
Krzysztof Penderecki was a fundamental composer, whose atonal, deeply emotional style earned him a place in many film soundtracks, including The Shining and The Exorcist. He had a special connection to nature and trees, which were a major source of inspiration for his music. Together with his wife, Elżbieta, he built and nurtured a remarkable garden in Lusławice, Poland, featuring more than 1,500 specimens. Exploring this composer’s creative process is also a way of celebrating the International Day of Forests, held on March 21, and marking the beginning of spring.
Duration: 60 min. 
Language: Spanish and Polish with consecutive translation into Spanish. 
An activity organized in collaboration with Instituto Polaco de Cultura in the context of the TopARTE program of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao.
