Sikora's Flute Concerto – written for Ana – premieres April 2026.

Renowned composer Elżbieta Sikora has composed a flute concerto especially for Ana de la Vega, who will be performing its world premiere as a guest of the Szczecin Philharmonic on 24 April 2026.

Elżbieta has long built her music on the border between worlds: classical and experimental, form and sound. Her new Flute Concerto fits into this trend  – a piece in which a familiar instrument speaks the language of the present. It's not about shock but seeking a new space for an old voice. The flute, guided by  Ana de la Vega,  becomes a guide through this unfamiliar terrain.
