The Polish Opole Philharmonic at the stage in Shanghai. From Dec. 27^th to Dec. 28th, around 2 shows will be at Shanghai Concert Hall.

The Polish Opole Philharmonic has developed from Opole symphonic Orchestra which has been operating since 1952 and gained its current status in 1972. In the artistic season of 2001/2002 the institution celebrated its 50 anniversary. The period of fifty years has been marked with its commendable presence in the cultural life in the Opole region, the whole country and abroad.

The Orchestra has performed with many outstanding Polish soloists, prizewinners of international competitions, as well as foreign musicians. Since 1960the Orchestra has participated regularly in prestigious events such as the Festival of Contemporary Music in Wroclaw, the Chopin Festival in Duszniki, the Moniuszko Festival in Kudowa-Zdr?j, the Poznań Musical Spring, the Wratislavia Cantans International Festival of Oratorio and Cantata Music in Wroclaw, the Polish Piano Festival in Slupsk and the Opole Days of Oratorio Music (from 1973). Foreign tours with the Philharmonic’s resident Chorus (Germany, Italy) and concerts devoted exclusively to music by contemporary Polish composers consolidated the orchestra’s position in Europe.

In the 1980s the Orchestra received numerous invitations to perform in Italy, Germany, Holland, Spain, France, Switzerland and Hungary.

Recent initiatives of the Opole Philharmonic have included the Witold Lutoslawski Forum, Presentations of 20-century Art, the Days of Baroque Music and the Festival of Silesian Composers.

Since September 1999 Boguslaw Dawidow has served as the Orchestra’s Artistic director and Principle Conductor. In recent years, the Philharmonic has hosted a growing number of world-famous musicians, winners of international piano, violin and conducting competitions. It has performed with much success in Holland (Hafa – Philips Saal, Haarlem and Rotterdam) and was the only Polish orchestra to take part in the Gala Concert in Rome to mark the 80^th birthday of Pope John Paul Ⅱ in May 2000. In January 2001 it went on a two-week tour of Holland with the ballet company of the Voronezh Opera in Russia (Giselle and Don Quixote). In March of the same year, the Orchestra , with Boguslaw Dawidow, performed at the Teatro Municipale in Piacenza (Italy).
