Variation rondo for double bass

"Variation rondo for double bass", is a short documentary – an operator’s impression by Mateusz Żegliński, who shows members of the Szczecin Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra. The author of the film focused on several musicians of the double bass section to give a detailed account of the musicians’ work. The film was made on the occasion of the Orchestra's Jubilee, which celebrates its 70th anniversary in the artistic season 2018/2019. Żegliński shows us musicians from the backstage, he persuades musicians to confide, shows them both from the professional and private side – he looks with the camera where music lovers usually have no chance to look.

I emphasize, first of all, the 70th anniversary of the orchestra, because everything happened thanks to people. Musicians who came here after the war and on October 25th, 1948, played the first concert as the Workers' Society of Music - says Dorota Serwa, the managing director of the Philharmonic.


The composition of the Orchestra has been changing constantly for seventy years, but one thing remains unchangeable – it is always made up of people who love music and live for it. We invite you to spare several minutes to embark on an exceptional travel. At the backstage, where the music intertwines with everyday life, you get to know the Orchestra from a completely different side...
