It is a pleasure to share with you the news that today I was awarded by the Subcarphatian Voivodship Board. The full title on the certificate sounds: "Award of Subcarphatian Voivodship Board to Mira Opalińska for special achievements in the artistic activity, dissemination and protection of culture".
Thank you very much for such a distinction and congratulations to all of the other laureates.
In November me and violinist Feargus Hetherington gave concerts in two Polish cities: Rzeszów and Stalowa Wola.
First concert in Rzeszów’s Philharmonic Hall on 13th Nov as a part of “Fil-Kameralia” concerts series. With old but beautiful sounding Steinway C in very pretty chamber hall we presented music from our first duo CD “A Highland Ballad”, plus J.S.Bach—Sonata E, BWV 1016.
Thursday 14th Nov we performed in Music School in Stalowa Wola city. This School is very close to me because as a 9 years old girl I attended my very first piano competition. It was very nice to be there again after all those years. And again instrument for me… Steinway D with rich and such an gorgeous sound.
Look what I found! An old dictaphone bootleg recording of me, ca. May 1997
Piano Concerto No. 23 in A major (K. 488), III. Allegro assai
Mira Opalińska (age 15), piano
