/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Days of Krzysztof Penderecki, a Polish composer and
conductor of classical music, will be held in Armenia from October
26 to 29. The outstanding composer will conduct all four concerts
when his music will be performed.
Krzysztof Penderecki was born November 23, 1933 in Debica. He studied
music at Krakow University and the Academy of Music in Krakow.
Penderecki's international recognition began in 1959 at the Warsaw
Autumn Festival with the premieres of the works Strophen, Psalms
of David, and Emanations, but the piece that truly brought him to
international attention was Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima.
Around the mid-1970s, he was a professor at the Yale School of Music.
In 2001, Penderecki's Credo received the Grammy Award for best choral
performance for the world-premiere recording made by the Oregon
Bach Festival.
