The USC Polish Music Center presents the Paderewski Lecture-Recital, an annual concert event commemorating pianist and composer Ignacy Jan Paderewski.

2023 marks the anniversaries of several leading Polish composers: Witold Lutosławski, Szymon Laks, Henryk Mikołaj Górecki and Krzysztof Penderecki. The annual Paderewski Lecture-Recital will celebrate these important milestones, with a particular spotlight on related materials from the PMC’s invaluable Manuscript Collection.

This evening includes student performances by a USC Thornton string quartet and brass quintet as well as a lecture led by director of the Polish Music Center, Marek Zebrowski.
