Press conference

06.07.2011
Sinfonia Varsovia Orchestra held a press conference announcing this year's festival La Folle Journée de Varsovie  — Les Titans 2011. This autumn, during the second Polish edition, we will present the works of five great musicians of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. You will be allowed to listen... without wearing a tuxedo or a suit.

We want to show you that classical music can trigger feelings of not less than rock 'n' roll classics, and that biographies of the titans surprisingly coincide with the pop or rock giants' biographies. We would like to inform you, especially the youth, that classical music does not require the whole "seriousness". It is enough to learn more about its authors and undergo the atmosphere of the festival, to experience Johannes Brahms equally to Jimi Hendrix. During this year's Crazy Music Days, we will see what links Gustav Mahler to Michael Jackson, and Johannes Brahms to Mick Jagger.

As one of the world's largest music events,the festival La Folle Journée — Les Titans 2011, will be held in Warsaw between 29 September and 2 October 2011, and will be open to everyone, regardless of age, gender or financial status. During the 4-day music event, 70 concerts will be performed by 400 world famous artists. During these days, everyone will be able to listen to the titans of classical music in Teatr Wielki — Polish National Opera and at the Theatre Square.
