Passion: Krzysztof Penderecki’s Musical Sketches On 19 June, 2003, in the Hermitage Theater foyer was opened an exhibition of scores of the prominent modern composer Krzysztof Penderecki. The show has been prepared by the Hermitage, Polish Ministry of Culture and the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland in St. Petersburg in cooperation with the Cracow Gallery of Modern Art. The exhibition displays 12 works created by Penderecki over a few decades — The Devils of Loudin (1968-69), Cosmogony (1970), Concert for Violin and Orchestra (1967), Utrenja II: The Resurrection (1971), Polish Requiem (1984), The Seven Gates of Jerusalem (1996), Credo (1998) and The Awakening of Jacob (1974). The key idea is to show the phenomenon of musical script as a work of art. After the exhibition was opened, the Hermitage Theater hosted a performance of Krzysztof Penderecki’s Concert for Cello and Orchestra by the State Hermitage Orchestra and soloist Ivan Monighetti, conducted by the author. |
