The "Experimental Tuesdays" series taking place as part of the Sinfonia Varsovia To Its City 2020 Festival will end with the performance of the Small Instruments ensemble. The latest works by Paweł Romańczuk will be premiered on 25 August 2020 at 8.00 p.m. on the stage at 272 Grochowska street.
"Experimental Tuesdays", a new series of contemporary music concerts, examine the relationship between music and nature as well as respond to the challenges of modernity, including man’s influence on the environment, the climate crisis, the progressing digitization of life, the lack of algorithmic transparency, and the lack of internet privacy.
The Small Instruments ensemble based in Wrocław and founded by Paweł Romańczuk became famous for exploring new sounds using a wide array of small instruments. The instruments used in their sonic experiments feature an ever expanding array of professional instruments, sound toys made for children or naive in nature, strange musical inventions as well as a whole array of small items that aren't really instruments but do make a sound. Small Instruments recycle not only the materials from which sound structures are built, but also the tradition of classical music. At the concert as part of the festival organized by Sinfonia Varsovia, the ensemble will perform works by Igor Stravinsky, Erik Sati and Dmitri Shostakovich. We will hear instruments and playing mechanisms built by Paweł Romanczuk himself, among others. in his works Szemrzą te bory from the album Samoróbka and Stone's dances. We will also hear the first performance of compositions created along with new constructions.
The meeting with the artists after the concert will be hosted by Wioleta Żochowska, curator of the series.
