Tricky’s concert will be broadcasted online at around midnight!
The 3,5 hour main stage concert will start with anthems of Poland and the European Union. The first part will cover classical, film and jazz music hits. Works by Frederic Chopin, Andrzej Kurylewicz, Jan A.P. Kaczmarek, Krzysztof Komeda and Wojciech Kilar will be performed by distinguished pianists: Janusz Olejniczak, Leszek Możdżer, orchestra: Sinfonia Varsovia, bands: Tomasz Stańko Quintet, Me, Myself and I and violinist Sebastian Karpiel-Bułecka. American trumpet player Chris Botti will perform as a special guest. In the second part, which is to remind us of the milestones of Polish pop music, will cover performances by Perfekt, Myslovitz, Lech Janerka and Kapela ze Wsi Warszawa. The programme also covers surprising interpretations by the following artists: vocal group Manhattan Transfer, singer Michael Bolton, saxophonist Kenny G. as well as singers Angie Stone and Dolores O’Riordan (The Cranberries). During the final fireworks show, “Orawa” by Wojciech Kilar will be background music. “It will be an unprecedented event. In city space, fireworks will correspond to the mood, the dramatic effect and energy of the piece which is a gem of Polish chamber music” emphasised Materna. The evening will end with the third part – a one-hour performance by British trip-hop legend Tricky.
