Baeva / Kholodenko

World-renowned violinist Alena Baeva (winner of the 12th International Henryk Wieniawski Violin Competition in Poznań, 2001) and pianist Vadym Kholodenko (winner of the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, Forth Worth, Texas, 2013) perform a chamber programme of Karol Szymanowski's Myths. Three poems for violin and piano Op. 30 and Sonata in D minor for violin and piano Op. 9.

The concert is part of the Premiere Preludes series.

Premiere Preludes is series of concerts held on the eve of each opera opening in the Moniuszko Auditorium throughout the season. Offering a taste of less known works of the composer of the opera, sometimes in a novel context, they serve as an excellent introduction to the premiere at hand. 

The Preludes attract music lovers and opera enthusiasts seeking a beautiful music experience and a better understanding of pieces written for the stage. Featuring both chamber and symphonic works, and characteristic for their unique atmosphere, Preludes draw on the opera house's significant concert tradition, providing a wider perspective on Teatr Wielki's core programme.
