On January 23, 2015, the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (Greece) hosted the concert of music by Mieczysław Karłowicz, Witold Lutosławski and Karol Szymanowski.
One of the two most important symphony orchestras in Greece, the Thessaloniki State Symphony Orchestra, presented Polish music at the concert held on January 23, 2015. The choice of repertoire was not incidental. The programme of the concert under the baton of Dariusz Mikulski, conductor and horn player, included two works of the Young Poland Movement composers: Bianca da Molena Op. 6 by Mieczysław Karłowicz and Violin Concerto No. 2 Op. 61 by Karol Szymanowski with Dimitris Karakantas as a soloist, as well as Concerto for Orchestra by Witold Lutosławski.
