A Musical Welcome for UN Digital Summit Guests in Katowice

Before tackling an agenda featuring the most important challenges posed by the internet, participants will listen to a concert of beautiful Polish classical and film music, and sung poetry. The concert will be broadcast live by Polish Television. The organiser of the event is the Chancellery of the Prime Minister and NASK.

The “Wings of the Mind” concert will present global hits from film music, including Wojciech Kilar from the film “Dracula”, JAP Kaczmarek from the film “Dreamer” and Krzysztof Komeda from the film “Rosemary’s Baby”, as well as a handful of less well-known, but equally beautiful works, e.g. “Prząśniczka” by Stanisław Moniuszko and musical arrangements of poems by Polish Nobel laureates Wisława Szymborska and Czesław Miłosz. We will also hear classical masterpieces by Frederic Chopin, Henryk Mikołaj Górecki and Krzysztof Penderecki – all within a unique concert hall in the building of the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra in Katowice.
