Sounds of History

**Sounds of History** takes you on an unforgettable musical journey through the heart of Poland’s rich cultural heritage and its poignant memory of the Pomeranian Massacre. Held the day after the Pomeranian Massacre Victims’ Remembrance Day (October 2nd), this concert film celebrates tragedy and resilience with a carefully curated program that blends memory, national identity, and the transformative power of art. The stellar lineup features the Toruń Symphony Orchestra conducted by Dainius Pavilionis (Lithuania), the renowned pianist Michał Szymanowski, and a chorus of voices: the Choir of the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń (prepared by Arkadiusz Kaczyński), the Bydgoszcz University of Technology Choir (prepared by Agnieszka Sowa), and the Youth Choir Semper Iuvenes of the ZSM in Toruń (prepared by Renata Szerafin‑Wójtowicz). The program unfolds through emotionally resonant works—from the gentle nostalgia of Henryk Górecki’s “Three pieces in the old style” and Władysław Szpilman’s “Concertino” to the stirring “Warsaw Concert” by Richard Addinsell, the dramatic interlude from Wojciech Kilar’s suite from the film *Pan Tadeusz*, and the unforgettable “Exodus” by Kilar. Experience this powerful tribute and be moved by music that echoes past sorrow while lighting the path to hope and spiritual strength.
