The Orpheus prize, for the best performance of a work by a Polish composer, is awarded every year during Warsaw Autumn, an international contemporary music festival.

The composer Andrej Krzanowski (1951-1990) wrote his Symphony (45 minutes) in 1975, for an orchestra of over one hundred musicians, including five accordionists. It was his exam work; it wasn’t premiered until Lucas’s performance with the Warsaw Philharmonic.
