Maria Włoszczowska : Orquestra XXI
Between the 5-7th April, Maria Włoszczowska performed Mozart’s Violin Concerto no.5, K.219 with Orquestra XXI as part of their April tour to Porto and surrounding cities.
The concerts in Viseu (5 Apr), Braga (6 Apr) and Porto (7 Apr) also featured a programme of Justė Janulytė Elongation of Nights and Schumann’s Symphony No. 2, Op. 61, conducted by Dinis Sousa.
Later this month, Maria travels to Feldkirch, Austria as soloist and director with the Pforte Chamber Orchestra, performing Beethoven’s Violin Concerto and Symphony no.3 ‘Eroica’ in the ballroom of the Stella Musikhochschule.
This is followed by two chamber music performances at Wigmore Hall. The first on the 23rd April includes a programme of Mozart, Schoenberg and Brahms with Tim Crawford, Timothy Ridout, Ting-Ru Lai and Tim Posner. Then on the 6th May Maria returns to Wigmore with regular chamber music partner, pianist Jeremy Denk and The Gesualdo Six vocal ensemble for a programme exploring Ives’ violin sonatas and ‘some of their thematic source material, derived from hymns and popular songs of the period’.
