NOSPR - NOSPR
NOSPR
One of the most significant symphony orchestras in Poland. The ensemble debuted on air on 2nd October 1935 and has enjoyed a constant presence in Polish Radio programming ever since. Over the subsequent decades, the ensemble has been consistently reinforcing its international renown, performing in the most prestigious concert halls the world over and collaborating with the greatest artists of our time, including Leonard Bernstein, Martha Argerich, and Artur Rubinstein. The orchestra was entrusted with the premieres of their works by such composers as Witold Lutosławski, Wojciech Kilar, Henryk Mikołaj Górecki, and Krzysztof Penderecki. Over the years, the orchestra has been led by such exquisite conductors as Lawrence Foster, Jan Krenz, Kazimierz Kord, Tadeusz Strugała, Jerzy Maksymiuk, Antoni Wit, Gabriel Chmura, Jacek Kaspszyk, and Alexander Liebreich. NOSPR organises the Festival of Premieres, the Katowice Culture Nature Festival, and the Karol Szymanowski International Music Competition. Currently, the ensemble’s rich musical tradition is being continued under Marin Alsop’s artistic directorship, while Ewa Bogusz-Moore has been their General and Programme Director since 2018.
