Wojciech Kilar's Orawa in Los Angeles

Wojciech Kilar's <em>Orawa</em> in Los Angeles

On December 7, Wojciech Kilar's Orawa will be performed by Delirium Musicum at The Wende Museum in Los Angeles. Orawa refers to a region near the Polish-Slovak border marked by rugged, mountainous terrain, and this piece is the final work in Kilar’s so-called “Tatra Mountain Works” for string orchestra. Incredibly popular with performers and audiences alike for its folk-like open harmonies and driving rhythmic patterns, Orawa has been arranged for a variety of forces including string quartet, twelve saxophones, accordion trio, and eight cellos.
