AUKSO Chamber Orchestra under Marek Moś will perform chamber compositions by Eugeniusz Knapik on March 4, 2017 at Mediateka Hall in Tychy.
Born in Ruda Śląska, Eugeniusz Knapik studied composition with Henryk Mikołaj Górecki and Olivier Messiaen. He holds the post of professor at the Department of Composition, Conducting and Music Theory at theSzymanowski Academy of Music in Katowice, where he founded the Computer and Electroacoustic Music Studio in 1992. Knapik's style, romantic in outward expression, distinctly individual, is characterised by excellent composer craftsmanship, with strong emphasis on the melodic component. The melody is again the central element determining the form of the musical work. As a pianist, he gives performances in Poland and abroad, playing mostly 20th-century piano works. He has widely recorded for the radio and television as well as record companies.
During the concert, the solo parts will be interpreted by Urszula Kryger (soprano), Marcin Świątkiewicz (harpsichord) and Magdalena Krupa (flute).
