Radom Chamber Orchestra is waiting for your wonderful compositions until September 10.
If you are a composer, definitely apply to
Krzysztof Penderecki International Composers' Competition ARBORETUM 2025.
The Competition originated from the need to experience art, felt both by
creators and the public. In the first stage, a three-member international
jury - Piotr Moss, Paul Patterson, Maciej Żółtowski - selects six works. In
the second stage of the competition, during the final concert, six works
will be performed by the Radom Chamber Orchestra.
It is worth emphasizing that Prof. Krzysztof Penderecki, one of the most
outstanding Polish composers, was the initiator of the Competition and until
2019 had the decisive vote in choosing the composer whose work deserves
special recognition. In 2023, Joanna Wnuk-Nazarowa, his student and an
important figure in Polish music culture, agreed to be the chairwoman of the
jury. Six compositions will be presented during the competition's second
round, concert for final selection performed by the Radom Chamber Orchestra.
It will take place in the Krzysztof Penderecki Concert Hall in Radom on the
30th of November 2025.
We encourage you to take part in the competition. There is no age limit.
ARBORETUM accepts works scored for a string orchestra.
