Katowice | New Music Orchestra and Michele Marelli

The New Music Orchestra and the internationally renowned basset horn virtuoso Michele Marelli, professor of clarinet at Conservatorio Francesco Cilea in Reggio Calabria, will perform on 8 November 2020 at 7.30 p.m. in the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra Concert Hall in Katowice.

The programme will include Art of Metal I by Yanns Robin, B-low Up by Ondřej Adámek and "Open / Close" Concerto for bass clarinet and instrumental ensemble by Krzysztof Wołek.

Yann Robin's Art of Metal cycle was written especially for a metal double bass clarinet. According to the composer, the piece is supposed to capture the sound qualities associated with metal: "strength, power, massiveness, energy, shine, sheen". The endless wealth of possibilities for bass and double bass clarinets present the works by Ondřej Adámek and Krzysztof Wołek. Wołek's Concerto for bass clarinet, written as part of the "Composing Commissions" programme of the Institute of Music and Dance, reflects the composer's search for a new sound for this instrument.

The concerts of the New Music Orchestra at the PNRSO in 2020 were co-financed under the "Music" programme of the Institute of Music and Dance.
