Guests:

Chairman:

Jerzy Kisielewski
 

What was Witold Lutosławski like?

What were his everyday priorities?

How did he plan his schedule?

Where did he get inspiration from?

Should his music be approached by performers purely intellectually, or does it call for intense expression?

 

During the meeting, we will attempt to answer these and other questions. The event continues the idea of the EXPLORATION (POSZUKIWANIE) project, carried out in 2013 on the occasion of the composer’s centenary. The discussion will be illustrated with fragments from films and animations telling the story of Witold Lutosławski’s life and work.
