The USC Polish Music Center presents the 2022 Paderewski Lecture-Recital, which celebrates Hanna Kulenty, a brilliant contemporary composer born in 1961 who divides her time between her native Poland and the Netherlands. 

With works commissioned and performed by renowned ensembles and musicians throughout Europe, Kulenty’s catalogue ranges from intimate solo explorations of form to large-scale triumphs of ensemble sound. Selections of these works will be performed by the USC Thornton School of Music’s finest musicians, both student and professional, and preceded by the composer’s lecture about her oeuvre. Presented by the Polish Music Center, this event will offer a fascinating variety of works from throughout Kulenty’s compositional career, played by soloists in small and large ensembles.
