The renowned countertenor, who performed in Paris with Lady Gaga and Celine Dion, is now preparing for a fall tour of Poland with pianist and composer Aleksander Dębicz.

As part of the “#LetsBaRock” tour, the artists will perform baroque covers in nine cities, including Poznań, Katowice, Kraków, Wrocław, Warsaw, Bielsko-Biała, Łódź, and Szczecin, concluding on October 7 in Gdańsk.

Their baroque arrangements, enriched with pop elements, are supported by musicians from the Polish entertainment scene.

Fans can catch a preview of the concerts at Męskie Granie in Warsaw on August 23 and listen to the upcoming album released on September 20.

Orliński recently also performed at the Paris Olympic opening ceremony, blending a baroque aria with elements of breakdance.
