XIV Ogólnopolska Sesja Naukowa z cyklu „Idee muzyki – ideologie w muzyce” pt. Idee kompozytorskie versus sztuka interpretacjiMedia patronage: Polish Music Information Centre POLMIC

The 14th edition of the Scientific Session in the series "Ideas of music - ideologies in music" entitled "Composition Ideas versus the Art of Interpretation" will deal with the broadly understood relationship between composer and performer. The event is aimed at first-, second- and third-level music students - music theorists, composers, musicologists, as well as performers interested in this year's topics. The conference will be held at the Academy of Music in Gdańsk on the 27th of May. Participation is free of charge. The deadline for submissions is the 21st of April 2024 (by 23:59).

The immediate impetus for this theme was a meeting between composition students and performers specialising in recent repertoire - pianist Piotr Nowicki and percussionist Paweł Nowicki, who co-found the Nowicki Duo.

Wrocław | Impressions for soprano and viola

Impresje na sopran i altówkę w NFMMedia patronage: Polish Music Information Centre POLMIC

It must have taken a lot of work for the unusual married duo of soprano and violist - Aleksandra Kubas-Kruk and Szymon Kruk - to find a suitable repertoire. It turns out, however, that in the 20th century, and then at the beginning of this century, composers created works for soprano and viola voices often enough for the artists to record the album Impressions (2022) together, without even having to rely on musical transcriptions. We will hear these works at the NFM on April 18, 2024 at 7 p.m.

The duo's concert at the National Forum of Music will open with the lullaby Gute Nacht by Paul Hindemith, which is the ending of the cantata titled Serenaden. The concert will close with Two Impressions - compositions dedicated to a married duet by the artist Leszek Wisłocki from Wrocław. They contain references to the folklore of Podhale, which has fascinated the creator since his youth.

Warsaw | 1. Timeless Film Festival Warsaw: Josef Van Wissem

TimelessFestival 13 4 24Media patronage: Polish Music Information Centre POLMIC

Josef Van Wissem, Dutch composer, lutenist and guitarist, will perform on the 13th of April, 2024 at 8.30 p.m. at the POLIN Museum to the legendary film adaptation of "The Fall of the House of Usher" (France 1928), made by Jean Epstein, born in Warsaw.

Wissem, who has been recording albums with Jim Jarmusch for years, a creator of film music (he wrote, among others, the soundtrack for the production "Only Lovers Left Alive"), decided to compose his own music to a silent film based on the "Gothic fairy tale" by Edgar Allan Poe. It will be an attempt to musically redefine film classics.

Poe's story is rich and extremely evocative, and the music will give this surreal vision a modern dimension: Wissem's musical minimalism will harmonize wonderfully with Epstein's imagination.
