Sus viajes al extranjero in- cluyen miles de encuentros con directores, compositores, solistas y, finalmente, con el público. Durante más de 30 años, la Orquesta ha sido un invitado habitual en escena- rios nacionales y extranjeros. El conjunto fue fundado en abril de 1984 como resultado de la ampliación de la Orquesta de Cámara Polaca (PCO). El impulso para expandir el conjunto fue proporcionado por la llegada del legendario violinista Yehudi Menuhin por invitación de Waldemar Dąbrowski, el entonces Di- rector General del St. I. Witkiewicz Art Center Studio en Varsovia, y Franciszek Wybrańczyk, el director de la PCO. Los primeros conciertos conjuntos obtuvieron rápida- mente el reconocimiento de la audiencia y Menuhin asu- mió el cargo de director principal invitado. Poco después, Sinfonia Varsovia inició su gira mundial, presentándose en las salas de conciertos más prestigiosas del mundo como Carnegie Hall (Nueva York), Théatre des Champs Elysées (París), Barbican Centre (Londres), Wie- ner Musikverein (Viena), Teatro Colón (Buenos Aires), Suntory Hall (Tokio) y Herkulessaal (Múnich). La or- questa ha establecido relaciones artísticas con los direc- tores más eminentes: Valery Gergiev, Witold Lutosławski, Lorin Maazel, Jerzy Maksymiuk, Yehudi Menuhin y Kr- zysztof Penderecki, así como solistas como Piotr Ander- szewski, Gidon Kremer, Mstislav Rosha-Argerpovich, Anne-Argerpovich. Sinfonia Varsovia ha realizado más de 4.000 conciertos en todo el mundo y ha grabado más de 300 discos, con discográficas como Decca, Deutsche Grammophon, Na- xos, Sony y Warner. El repertorio grabado incluye obras desde el siglo XVIII hasta la actualidad. Un lugar especial ocupan en los programa de los conciertos de la orques- ta las obras de compositores polacos, incluidos Frederic Chopin, Krzysztof Penderecki, Ignacy Jan Paderewski, Witold Lutosławski, Henryk Mikołaj Górecki y Wojciech Kilar. La orquesta ha estrenado numerosas obras, inclui- das las de compositores como John Adams, Krzesimir Debski, Jan A. P. Kaczmarek, Witold Lutosławski, Paweł Mykietyn, Onutė Narbutaitė, Krzysztof Penderecki, Mar- ta Ptaszyńska, Marcin Stańczyk y Paweł Szymański. Sinfonia Varsovia posee además cinco conjuntos de cáma- ra: Orquesta de cámara polaca, Sinfonia Varsovia String Quintet, Sinfonia Varsovia Brass, Sinfonia Varsovia Wind Quintet y el más joven -Sinfonia Varsovia Camerata. Krzysztof Penderecki, el mayor compositor contemporá- neo de Polonia, desempeñó el cargo de director musical de la orquesta desde 1997 y el de director artístico de 2003 a 2020. Entre 2008-2012, el director musical de Sinfonia Varsovia fue el mundialmente reconocido director fran- cés Marc Minkowski. En 2004, Franciszek Wybrańczyk transfirió las funciones de director de Sinfonia Varsovia al músico de mayor experiencia de la agrupación, Janusz Marynowski, quien todavía ocupa este puesto en la actua- lidad. Cofinanciado por el Ministerio de Cultura, Patrimonio Nacional y Deporte del Fondo para la Promoción de la Cultura: Biografías Alexander Liebreich Recientemente nombrado director titular de la Orquesta de Valencia para la temporada 21/22 y director titular y artístico hasta la temporada 25/26.

En 2014 inauguró el nuevo auditorio de Ka- towice, sede de dicha orquesta, interpretando el concier- to para piano núm. 1 de Brahms con Krystian Zimerman. La colaboración entre la orquesta y el sello discográfico Accentus Music originó diversas grabaciones de obras de Lutosławski, así como de otras grandes obras del re- pertorio polaco. Su tercer disco, que incluía piezas de Ka- rol Szymanowski y Witold Lutosławski, fue galardonado con el premio International Classical Music Awards en la categoría Mejor Colección. En 2018, asume el cargo de director artístico del Festival Richard Strauss de Garmish-Partenkirchen inagurando la primera edición en junio de 2018 con la Akademie für Alte Musik de Berlín y el coro de la Bayerischen Rundfunks.

Alexander Liebreich nació en Ratisbona y estudió en la Hochschule für Musik und Theater de Múnich y en el Mozarteum de Salzburgo, y adquirió gran parte de su pri- mera formación musical de la mano de Michael Gielen y Nikolaus Harnoncourt. También fue influído de manera notable por su maestro Claudio Abbado, quien le invitó a acompañarle y asistirle en varias producciones en el Fes- tival de Pascua de Salzburgo con la Filarmónica de Berlín y en Bolzano con la Orquesta Jóven Gustav Mahler. Biografías Viviane Hagner Nacida en Múnich, Viviane Hagner ha recibido excepcio- nales elogios por su musicalidad y maestría. Desde su de- but internacional con solo 12 años y su participación en el legendario “joint concert” de las Filarmónicas de Israel y Berlín (dirigidas por Zubin Mehta en Tel Aviv) un año más tarde, Viviane Hagner ha adquirido profundidad y madu- rez en su forma de actuar en el escenario. Hagner ha actuado con las mejores orquestas del mun- do incluyendo la Filarmónica de Berlín, Orquestas Sin- fónicas de Boston y Chicago, Orquesta de Cleveland, Gewandhaus de Leipzig, Filarmónica de Nueva York y Philharmonia Orchestra, junto a directores como As- hkenazy, Barenboim, Eschenbach y Salonen.

Además de su aproximación profunda y virtuosa al re- pertorio clásico, Viviane Hagner es una gran defensora de las músicas nuevas, olvidadas y desconocidas, de gran- des compositores como Sofia Gubaidulina, Karl Amadeus Hartmann y Witold Lutosławski.

    AN AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL OUTLINE by David DeBoor Canfeld As a composer, author, music critic, annotator, editor, publisher, recording producer, archivist, researcher, violinist, theologian, scholar and teacher at a pastors’ college, I wear many hats. I was born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in 1950, and received my frst training in music at the age of six from my father, John Canfeld, himself a professional musician who likewise wore a number of musical hats but also diverged into other activities, such as building houses or teaching systematic theology at African Bible College in Malawi. My mother, June (née DeBoor) Canfeld, was likewise a musician, and so I grew up in a home where music was played and listened to constantly. Even so, my interest through high school and more than half of my undergraduate work in college was in chemistry, but midway through my junior year at Stetson University, I decided that I would be only an ordinary chemist but perhaps could exceed that standard in music. I therefore transferred to Covenant College, where my father was head of the music department at the time, and knew that I could legitimately be exempted from a number of otherwise mandatory music courses, which allowed me to graduate, in 1972, in the normal four-year timespan. Afer my graduation I moved back to Fort Lauderdale, where I began a gardening service, but I was soon hired as a violinist in several south Florida orchestras, including the Fort Lauderdale Symphony, the Miami Opera Association and the Miami Beach Symphony. In 1974, thanks to the fnancial support of my grandmother, Bertha DeBoor, I applied for and was accepted as a musicology major at Indiana University, but upon my arrival in Bloomington, Indiana, I elected to major in composition instead, and was awarded my MM in 1979 and DM in 1983.

    BOHUSLAV MARTINŮ: EARLY ORCHESTRAL WORKS, VOLUME TWO by Michael Crump In 1906 a promising young Czech violinist called Bohuslav Martinů lef his home town of Polička and began life as a student at the Conservatoire in Prague. His studies were made possible largely afer an appeal in his local newspaper raised the necessary funds. Doubtless he had every intention of rewarding the trust thus placed in him by graduating with full honours, but the cultural life of the Czech capital proved to be irresistibly distracting. Te performances at the National Teatre, in particular, drew him like a magnet night afer night, usually in the company of his friend and fellow-student Stanislav Novák. His devotion to the theatre unfortunately led to the neglect of his violin studies and his eventual expulsion from the Conservatoire in 1910, but by this time he was already well aware that his future lay in composition, not performance. He stayed on in Prague, supported by modest fnancial support from his parents, and his love-afair with the National Teatre continued unabated. Novák later wrote a short reminiscence of his friend, giving details of his musical sympathies at this time of his life: He was free, nobody bothered him with counterpoint, he could attend rehearsals of the Philharmonic and read all day, he could compose whatever and however he liked and in the evening he would have to get himself to the theatre at any price. At this time he would never miss a single performance of Smetana’s operas, nor of Rusalka or Te Jacobin.

    SINFONIA VARSOVIA Artistic Director - KRZYSZTOF PENDERECKI Musical Director - MARC MINKOWSKI Orchestra Director - JANUSZ MARYNOWSKI „Work with no other orchestra gave me so much satisfaction as my work – as soloist and conductor – with Sinfonia Varsovia” Yehudi Menuhin Legendary violinist Yehudi Menuhin arrived for concerts in Poland as a soloist and conductor in April 1984 on the invitation of the Polish Chamber Orchestra functioning already for some time. To meet the planned repertoire’s needs the orchestra enlarged its composition by inviting distinguished musicians from around the country. With initial concerts of the ensemble conducted by Yehudi Menuhin meeting with an enthusiastic applause of the audience and critics’ appreciation, delighted Lord Yehudi Menuhin expressed his desire to continue cooperation with the new formation. The idea of creation a standing orchestra made of strings and a double wind section had become a fact. Yehudi Menuhin without any hesitation accepted the proposal of the Ensemble Director Franciszek Wybrańczyk and took up duties of the first visiting conductor and the orchestra was named Sinfonia Varsovia. Soon the ensemble got first offers to give concerts in the United States and Canada with other invitations arriving from Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Austria, Finland, Portugal, Belgium, the Netherlands, Great Britain, Switzerland, Greece and in the last years also from Argentina, Brazil, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. Sinfonia Varsovia performed in the most prestigious concert halls of the world – New York’s Carnegie Hall, Théâtre de Champs Elysées in Paris, Barbican Centre in London, Musikverein in Vienna, Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires, Suntory Hall in Tokyo or Herkulessaal in Munich; it participated in renowned festivals, among others in Salzburg, Aix-en Provence, Montreux, La Roque d’Anthéron, Schleswig-Holstein, Pablo Casals Festival and many others.
