Radom Chamber Orchestra proudly announces Krzysztof Penderecki International Composers’ Competition ARBORETUM 2023

Radom City can be proud of its centuries-old music tradition. The most distinguished Polish composer of the Middle Ages, Nicholas of Radom, created his music in this royal city. It emphasises the standing and the importance of the centre, also on the cultural map of the Jagiellonian country. The people of Radom have always felt a strong need to create and exist in a cultural field. It is proved by organisation of the International Composers’ Competition – Certamen Compositorum Internationale ARBORETUM and the commitment of one of the most distinguished composers of our times, Krzysztof Penderecki. The Competition originated from the need to experience art, felt both by creators and the public. It is worth emphasizing that so far Prof. Krzysztof Penderecki, one of the greatest Polish composers, had a decisive voice in choosing a composer whose work deserves special recognition. This year, Joanna Wnuk-Nazarowa, his student and an important figure in Polish music culture, agreed to be the chairwoman of the jury. Six compositions will be presented during the competition’s second round, concert for final selection performed by the Radom Chamber Orchestra. It will take place in the Krzysztof Penderecki Concert Hall in Radom on the 9th of December 2023. ARBORETUM accepts works scored for a string orchestra.
