Thomas Simaku’s new work for Violin & String Orchestra will receive its world premiere on 27 September 2024, performed by Leonard Simaku (Switzerland) and the Orchestra of the National Theatre of Opera and Ballet in Tirana, and conducted by Rafał Janiak (Poland).
Morea is a winning work of the Ministry of Culture of Albania's 2022 National Competition. Coincidentally, Rafał Janiak was the conductor of the world premiere of Simaku’s Concerto for Orchestra – winning work of Lutosławski International Competition in 2013 – in the final concert of the 2013 Warsaw Autumn festival with Warsaw Philharmonic.
