Meet Pawel Lukaszewski
Composer

Pawel's choral work Via Crucis is receiving its UK première with Britten Sinfonia and Polyphony choir. Stephen Layton, director of Polyphony, has championed Pawel's work here in the UK as well as which his pieces receive performances globally. Click for details of the premiere tour

Pawel's inspiration for the work is discussed in his programme notes for the work, some additional words on sacred music and his beliefs, as well as illustrated through some liturgical text and images.

For Lukaszewski's own description of the work in his programme note click here and then here for his additional words on sacred music.

A translation of the text of Via Crucis is available here and a biography of the composer himself here, this postcard will be available at the concerts.

Below is a selection of images of the various stations which relate to each section of text. A full list of the images identifying each station, is available here.
