The November music meetings, organised under the patronage of a Silesian composer, Henryk Mikołaj Górecki, will be held for the third time in Katowice. This year, one of the concerts will present e.g. the works by Mikołaj Górecki: the latest orchestra hit "Concerto-Notturno" for violin and string orchestra and "Trio Concerto" for clarinet, horn, piano and string orchestra.
