This year, the Sinfonietta Cracovia orchestra in collaboration with the London Sinfonietta launches a brand new concert cycle Sinfonietta Nova which aims at exploring new fields of music. Three Sinfonietta Nova 2024 concerts brings meetings with soloists from the British ensemble and some thrilling repertoire of music by British and American composers and the trance sounds of the strings.

In the second concert of the cycle entitled London Calling featuring Paul Silverthorne, the altoviolist of the London Sinfonietta, we will hear works from the West (Maw, Woolrich) and the East (Takemitsu) as well as the world premiere of Joanna Wnuk-Nazarowa's Quintetto per archi no. 2 (a new version of String Quintet dedicated to the memory of Krzysztof Penderecki)

The curator of the Sinfonietta Nova cycle in 2024 is Andrew Burke, the chief executive and artistic director of the London Sinfonietta.
