Music of the time of the Great War - 18.02.2019 | PHOTO GALLERY
Artists from countries involved in both sides of the conflict, known as the Great War, which shook the world at the beginning of the 20th century, met in Poznan to play a concert together. Referring to events from 100 years ago, musicians from Germany, France, Japan and Poland performed works by composers who lived and created in the years 1914-1918 and on whom, like on thousands of their countrymen, the war has left its painful mark.
The concert took place on February 18, 2019. This date was almost exactly on the 100th anniversary of the end of the Greater Poland Uprising (the Uprising ceased on February 16, 1919).
The partner of the event was the Polish Theater in Poznań, where artists performed on a large stage. The choice of place was not accidental and in this case refered to the rich tradition from the turn of 19th and 20th century, that is combining theater evenings with concerts.
