On Sunday, August 23, 2025, at 11:00 AM, the Polish Society for Contemporary Music invites children aged 3 to 8 and their parents to Austeria – Branch of the Raszyn Cultural Center (Al. Krakowska 1, Raszyn) for a free family improvisation workshop titled “Tell Me a Story”.
Participation is free, but advance registration is required due to a limited number of spots.
This will be a great opportunity to explore new music and the world of contemporary sounds, and to listen to musical “pictures” such as an octopus on a walk, frogs in a pond, or tools in a workshop.
The workshop will be led by outstanding improvisers:
- Jarosław Siwiński – composer and pianist,
- Małgorzata Kołcz – double bassist,
- and their special musical guest, percussionist Piotr Maślanka.
Together with the children, they will spend around 90 minutes (with a short break) in a fun and creative musical experience involving instruments, graphic books, and the sounds of our time. Participants will also explore various sound production techniques, focusing on color and dynamics, and will have the chance to make music together with the performers.
