Henryk Wojnarowski
Choirmaster, director of the Warsaw Philharmonic Choir since 1978.
He graduated in symphonic and operatic conducting after studies with Stanisław Wisłocki at the State Higher School of Music in Warsaw. From 1960 to 1978 he was conductor and director of the Grand Theatre Choir in Warsaw. In the Grand Theatre, he prepared about eighty new productions, including several world premieres.
With the Warsaw Philharmonic Choir, he has for many years given highly successful performances with leading Polish and other European symphony orchestras in such prestigious musical centres as Milan's La Scala (1985, 1989, 1990), Berlin, Munich, Paris, Rome, Madrid, Brussels, and Jerusalem. He has collaborated with the most prominent contemporary conductors, such as Gary Bertini, Sergiu Comissiona, Kazimierz Kord, Jan Krenz, Lorin Maazel, Jerzy Maksymiuk, Zubin Mehta, Seiji Ozawa, Krzysztof Penderecki, Helmuth Rilling, Witold Rowicki, Jerzy Semkow, Giuseppe Sinopoli, Stanisław Skrowaczewski, Leopold Stokowski, Stanisław Wisłocki, Antoni Wit, and Bohdan Wodiczko.
The artist regularly performs during music festivals in Warsaw, Wrocław, Cracow, Bydgoszcz, and Toruń.
With his choir, he has presented the entire canon of vocal-instrumental works from all periods, with special emphasis on Polish contemporary music (e.g. Krzysztof Penderecki's complete works with choir). He has participated in numerous Polish and world premieres. Also with the Warsaw Philharmonic Choir, he has made a large number of radio archive recordings and music records.
Henryk Wojnarowski has received six nominations to the most prestigious record industry prize - the Grammy Award: five for recordings of works by Krzysztof Penderecki: twice for St Luke Passion (1991 - conducted by the composer, 2004 - conducted by Antoni Wit), in 2005 - for The Polish Requiem; in 2007 - for Symphony No. 7 - Seven Gates of Jerusalem), in 2009 for Utrenja and in 2008 - for a CD with Karol Szymanowski's music - Stabat Mater, Demeter, Veni Creator, Penthesilea. In April 2009 the first album with Stanisław Moniuszko's masses conducted by Wojnarowski won the Fryderyk Award of the Polish music industry as Record of the Year in the category of Choral and Large-Scale Vocal-Instrumental Music.
In October 2005, the artist received the Jerzy Kurczewski Award, Poland's only award for distinguished choral artists, granted since 1999 in Poznań.
In 1962-2002, Henryk Wojnarowski was an academic teacher. He was made full professor by the Polish state.
