The accordion virtuoso, well-known teacher and rector of the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music, Klaudiusz Baran will perform with the Elbląg Chamber Orchestra on 15 November 2020 at 6.00 p.m. in the Concert Hall of the State Music School Complex in Elbląg.
Klaudiusz Baran's artistic achievements have changed the perception of the accordion in Poland, elevating it to the status of a fully-fledged instrument capable of shaping a real musical world. In his interpretations, the artist is capable of intertwining humility and deference to the work with a wealth of ingenuity, a personal perception of time in music, extraordinary charisma on stage and natural character of expression. The merits of his performances have been noted many times in numerous enthusiastic reviews and reflected in competition prizes, nominations and artistic awards. Baran is the first accordion player to receive a Fryderyk award, for the album "Astor Piazzolla – Tango", recorded for Sony Classical.
The artist navigates freely in a varied repertoire of many periods, but is most appreciated for his performances of contemporary music. With the Elbląg Chamber Orchestra, Klaudiusz Baran will perform, among others, Mikołaj Majkusiak's Chamber Concerto for accordion and string orchestra – one of the composer's latest works, premiered in February this year. The Orchestra conducted by Sabrina Stachel will also present Ottorin Respighi's Suite and Edvard Elgar's Introduction and Allegro, Op. 47.
