Marcin Wyrostek, a phenomenal Polish accordionist, will be the guest star at the Silver Gala Concert of the Paderewski Symphony Orchestra.
We are pleased to invite you to the Silver Gala Concert of the Paderewski Symphony Orchestra. This one-of-a-kind event will be presented to all fans of great music – ages 6 to 100 to celebrate both the 25th anniversary of the PaSO and the 25th anniversary of the amazing career of Marcin Wyrostek. The concert will take place on October 16th at 4 pm, at the Copernicus Center, at 5216 W. Lawrence Ave in Chicago, and will feature an extraordinary guest soloist – Polish accordion virtuoso Marcin Wyrostek.
The music director of the PaSO, Wojciech Niewrzol – Victor, intentionally chose Mr. Wyrostek for this celebration. During the 25 years of Mr. Niewrzol’s work at PaSO, his passion for different genres and styles of music has become well known. Each of over 300 concerts presented by the orchestra was different, surprising, sometimes moving, other times entertaining, and always highly appreciated for its high level of artistry and unique content – and this upcoming concert will be no exception.
