Penderecki’s funeral is postponed to 2022
mainThe Polish composer, who died a year ago this week, will receive a state funeral in Poland on the second anniversary of his death, it has been announced.
Ustalono datę pogrzebu Krzysztofa Pendereckiego. Uroczystość odbędzie się dwa lata po śmierci kompozytora
Apparently the family and the government have been unable to agree on a protocol during the Covid pandemic, which is now hitting Poland harder than ever before. Penderecki’s ashes are in a small church, waiting for burial. His widow Elzbieta is very seriously ill.
“Apparently the family and the government have been unable to agree on a protocol… ”
This is more like a farce than a funeral. Very sorry to hear how ill his widow is, but surely her wishes should be paramount. The government tribute can come in 2030, to celebrate his centenary.
It’s really hard to understand why they’re so delaying the funeral. It’s a bit scary.

Thankfully he’s not on ice.
Shades of James Brown…
