Penderecki, considered by many as one of the world’s greatest living composers, celebrates his 85th birthday on Friday.

Penderecki will himself conduct a concert at the Wielki Theatre/National Opera in Warsaw featuring Mutter as a soloist.

The festival has seen performances of symphonic and chamber music concerts giving a cross-section of Penderecki’s creative output over six decades.

Penderecki’s oeuvre includes symphonic and chamber music, concertos, large-scale vocal-and-instrumental works and operas.
