UNESCO meets UNESCO. The Silesian Philharmonic Orchestra performs at the Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex to kick off the special exhibition on the only UNESCO World Heritage Site in Upper Silesia at the Upper Silesian State Museum. The performance also marks the 20th anniversary of Poland's accession to the EU.
The Silesian Chamber Orchestra is known for its wide-ranging repertoire. As one of three ensembles of the Silesian Philharmonic Orchestra in Katowice, it is constantly trying out innovative concert formats. In the concert at Zollverein, works by J. S. Bach enter into a dialog with compositions by the Philharmonic's director Adam Wesołowski. His "Industrial Symphony" and his "Silver Concerto" combine traditional musical forms with industrial sounds and sound and film recordings from the historic silver mine in Tarnowitz. The concert is the musical prelude to the special exhibition "Silver Fever. Tarnowitz mining - the UNESCO World Heritage Site in Upper Silesia".
