We are delighted to host a sentimental event dedicated to the music and memory of Feliks Rybicki, a Polish composer, conductor, and beloved music educator.
An acclaimed mezzo-soprano, Magdalena Wór, will perform selected songs by Feliks Rybicki, while an exquisite pianist, Martin Labazevitch, will play a volume of works by the composer.
Feliks Rybicki was born on January 24, 1899, in Warsaw, Poland. He composed more than 50 works for orchestra, choir, and piano, as well as chamber music and vocal instrumental works. Among them are the most popular pedagogical works for piano: Pierwsze Kroki (First Steps) op. 19, Już Gram (I Can Play) op. 24, Gram Wszystko (I Play Everything) op. 22, and many more. Composed with children and youth in mind, they helped generations of students learn to play the piano, and sparked love towards music. Feliks Rybicki also composed music for movies, including a soundtrack for Profesor Wilczur (Professor Wilczur), 1938, and Dziesięciu z Pawiaka (The Ten from the Pawiak), 1931.
