Season closing concert: Branford Marsalis
Szczecin Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra conducted by Rune Bergmann - Filharmonia Szczecin
We invite you to a great concert crowning the jubilee artistic season, in which we celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Szczecin Philharmonic Orchestra and the 70th anniversary of the institution itself. A world-class star is a must during such a concert. On this special evening you will hear one of the greatest saxophonists of all time. Branford Marsalis, winner of three Grammy awards, will perform with our Orchestra in the golden hall of the Szczecin Philharmonic. But this concert will be particularly important for another reason as well. Maestro Rune Bergmann, will stand in front of the Szczecin Philharmonic Orchestra for the last time as its artistic director and chief conductor. He has held these positions for the last eight years (since 2016).
What's in the program? The concert will begin with the Fanfare For The Common Man by Aaron Copland (1900 – 1990) – widely considered the forerunner and father of modern American classical music. The composer took the title from the words of Henry Wallace, vice president of the USA during the third term of Franklin D. Roosevelt. He called the 20th century the century of the common man. Right after its premiere in 1943, Copland's work was hailed by Leonard Bernstein as the greatest hit in the world.
