Austrian Culture Forum in Warsaw invites to three concerts „Austria meets Poland 3” that will take place between October 17 and 19, 2017 in Kielce, Łódź and Warsaw.
In 2012, the excellent saxophonists Cornelia Högl-Egretzberger and Alicja Wołyńczyk created an international project "Austria meets Poland", which started thanks to the cooperation with the Austrian Culture Forum in Warsaw. The Polish-Austrian saxophone trio commissioned music of four Austrian composers. The compositions were composed of by the young generation: Julia Schreitl, Viola Falb, Christoph Siman and Alexander Kral, and performed in Austria and Poland by saxophone trio composed of Dorota Samsel, Alicja Wołyńczyk and Cornelia Högl. The concerts were very warmly received, so the idea for the next edition of the project was formed. In 2015, two saxophone-piano duos – Polish and Austrian – prepared music specially written for this occasion, the music of Austrian and Polish composers. Compositions of Christoph Siman and Alexander Kral were performed by the Polish duo, while the works of Łukasz Godyla and Marcin Tadeusz Łukaszewski – by the Austrian duo.
The third edition of the project will include three commissioned premieres: Anna Maria Huszcza's Sonore for alto saxophone, flute and piano, Viola Falb's Synergie for alto saxophone, accordion and piano, and Julia Schreitl's Kreistanz for alto saxophone, accordion and piano. We will also hear works of such contemporary composers as Max Nagl, Krzysztof Penderecki, Guy Lacour, Graham Fitkin and Florian Bramböck. Among the performers there will be Polish Trio (Alicja Wołyńczyk – saxophone, Adam Sychowski – piano, Jarosław Gałuszka – accordion) and Austrian Trio (Cornelia Högl-Egretzberger – saxophone, Cordula Bösze – flute, Stefan Schön –piano).
