Polish Baltic Philharmonic Orchestra
When World War II ended, Europe began rebuilding: its citizens cleared away rubble, redrew borders, and sought to replace desolation with beauty. In that spirit, the Polish Baltic Philharmonic Orchestra—first called the Gdańsk Symphony, for its home city of Gdańsk on the Baltic Sea—was born. Seven decades later, the orchestra has grown into the largest music institution in northern Poland.
Now, to celebrate their achievements and share their skill, the group heads on a tour across the U.S. led by principal guest conductor Bogusław Dawidow. Besides holding hands at all times so they don’t get separated, the expert musicians fill a program with works from one of their homeland’s most famous sons, Frederic Chopin, as well as Wagner and Rimsky-Korsakov.
Lehman Center for the Performing Arts
Lehman Center for the Performing Arts hosts a lot of firsts. From Jose Feliciano to Russian music institutions, many performing artists have never played in the Bronx before they come to the Center. That reality is part of what prompted its founding in the first place three decades ago, in an effort to prove that borough residents didn't have to travel to Manhattan or tunnel inside their television sets to experience diverse, live cultural programming. So far, that's included concerts by luminaries such as Smokey Robinson, Patti LaBelle, and Johnny Mathis in addition to folk dance, ballet, and Latino comedy showcases.
