The Sinfonietta Cracovia orchestra makes sure that the sky above Kraków (and its concert halls as well) is always star-studded. How? The Stars with Sinfonietta cycle does the trick!

This time, the guest of the cycle will be Michał Nesterowicz, one of the most recognisable Polish conductors in the world recognised by the orchestral players, music lovers and critics for his engagements with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, BBC Symphony Orchestra, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Konzerthausorchester Berlin and Tonkunstler Orchestra in Vienna.

The concert will also have another guest: pianist Alim Beisembayev, a current BBC New Generation Artist 2023-25, who made his debut at the BBC Proms with the Sinfonia of London (John Wilson) on two days’ notice, which brought him to international attention. In the recent world premiere performance of Alberga’s piano concerto with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic (Hindoyan, Scaglione), The Telegraph claimed “there’s no pianist under 30 in the world I would rather hear”.

The programme features Bruckner's "truly 'infinite' stream of emotion", one of Mozart's most famous works and Mendelssohn's symphony inspired by composer's romantic feelings and dedicated to the Queen Victoria.
