Piotr Anderszewski made the following announcement before performing the Szymanowski Symphonie concertante: "As a Polish citizen I, as is everyone, am very upset about the recent tragedy that has befallen the Polish people. I and the orchestra would like to dedicate this performance of the Szymanowski Symphonie concertante to the memory of the victims of this accident--and to the Polish people." Anderszewski also asked for a moment of silence.
