American conductor Lawrence Foster who will conduct this year’s ICMA Gala Concert with the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra on 10 May at the KKL, was conducting a superb concert with Penderecki’s Eight Symphony in Warsaw, on April 18, with the National Polish Radio Symphony Orchestra Katowice (NOSPR) and the NFM Choir from Wroclaw. NOSPR hosted last year’s ICMA Award Ceremony and Gala Concert.
After the concert, Lawrence Foster and ICMA Lifetime Achievement winner 2012 Krzysztof Penderecki, met with ICMA President Remy Franck.
