I am sure Professor Piotr Paleczny will not object to me quoting his well expressed, succinct post on one of the major events of today. "The President of the Republic of Poland, Andrzej Duda, during today's ceremony of awarding state medals on the occasion of the National Day of the Third of May at the Royal Castle in Warsaw, awarded Jerzy Maksymiuk, an outstanding conductor, composer and pianist, with the Order of the White Eagle. Established in 1705, the Order of the White Eagle is the oldest and highest state medal of the Republic of Poland. On this remarkable day, I would like to express my heartfelt congratulations - on behalf of myself and the countless admirers of your extraordinary talent, creativity and unparalleled artistic personality! Congratulations on this well-deserved award and thank you for all the deep musical emotions you have given us." Photos by PAP/L.
