David Returns To Poland With 30-Piece Orchestra

David’s Rattle That Lock global tour is set to continue in Europe during 2016, including, as previously reported, a very special concert in Freedom Square, Wrocław, Poland. Taking place on Saturday 25th June 2016, the concert will form part of the city’s celebrations as European Capital of Culture 2016. Tickets are on sale now.

The concert will be the first on the Rattle That Lock Tour 2015/16 to include a 30-piece orchestra, conducted by long-term collaborator, Polish composer Zbigniew Preisner. It will also include a special guest appearance by Polish pianist Leszek Możdżer, who featured on David’s 2006 album On An Island, alongside Zbigniew Preisner. The special one-off event, located on Freedom Square in front of the National Forum of Music, will be filmed by Aubrey ‘Po’ Powell and broadcast live on Polish TV.

David last performed in Poland in 2006, in the shipyards of Gdańsk, celebrating the founding of the Solidarity trade union. That show, which also included Leszek Możdżer and an orchestra conducted by Zbigniew Preisner, became the successful live album and DVD Live In Gdańsk.
