Obalenie pomnika dyktatora Envera Hodży w Tiranie, stolicy Albanii, przez Albańczyków 20 lutego 1991.

The premiere of the Polonaises performed by the Silesian Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra coincides with the presentation of the "Forbidden Music" from Auschwitz on the website www.forbiddenmusic.info, dedicated to this subject. Another unique piece presented on the website is a reconstruction of Fryderyk Chopin's etude in E major Op. 10 No. 3, performed illegally at the time by a female prisoner orchestra and released as a CD single on the occasion of the birthday of the deceased prisoner, Helena Dunicz-Niwińska, thanks to whom the reconstruction was possible.

Aware that the concert in Katowice will not be accessible to everyone interested due to the pandemic, we invite you to familiarize yourself with the event and listen to the songs online at www.forbiddenmusic.info, which was created thanks to a special-purpose grant from the National Centre for Culture as part of the "Culture Online" project. We hope its content will be supplemented and reach a broad audience.
