Jakub Józef Orliński is one of the most esteemed countertenors of his generation, thanks to his magnetic stage presence and a voice that has great power of expression. A pop icon among younger audiences, the Polish singer has shown in recent years that early music appeals to all audiences, and that new cultural trends (the singer is an excellent breakdancer) are not at odds with the poetry and intimacy of the baroque opera and lied performances. Orliński, who has already performed at the Palau twice, will get back up on the stage alongside his Polish compatriot pianist Michał Biel.
