Over the years, Sinfonia Varsovia has played more than 4,000 concerts, performing in some of the world's most prestigious concert halls under conductors such as Claudio Abbado, Emmanuel Krivine, Witold Lutoslawski, Lorin Maazel, Jerzy Maksymiuk and Krzysztof Penderecki (who in 1997 became the music director, and in June 2003 the artistic director of the ensemble), and alongside such soloists as Piotr Anderszewski, Martha Argerich, Alfred Brendel, Gidon Kremer, Nikolai Lugansky, Anne-Sophie Mutter, Maria Joăo Pires and Mstislav Rostropovich.
