From grief to glory, experience a symphony that moved the world.

From the depths of despair, a woman’s voice soars pure and free: ‘Oh, sing for him, God’s little songbirds / Since his mother cannot find him’. In 1976, when Henryk Górecki wrote his Third Symphony in Communist-occupied Poland, he was making a powerful statement of hope. He never imagined that his haunting ‘Symphony of Sorrowful Songs’ would become a global phenomenon, touching hearts on every continent. Tonight, its voice is the award-winning Polish soprano Iwona Sobotka.
