How is it that from word-to-word stories are created, and from sound to sound music emerges? We know the kind of books that magically make more ideas come to mind. A long time ago, they were written by Oskar Kolberg, who had a special gift for listening to what people tell, sing and play in the fields, meadows, city streets and countryside. He wrote it all down in his books, and we still wonder how he did it all. Perhaps he was a magician?

The hurdy-gurdy, nyckelharpa and celesta: we don’t hear about them every day, and yet they play so beautifully! The ones we will see were created quite recently, somewhere close by, perhaps a few streets from your, our home? Tenderly nurtured in the privacy of their studios, they are sometimes created over many years… Perhaps that is why we know so little about them? Today their builders will play on them along with their friends. The concert and stories will be accompanied by photographs by Piotr and Dorota Piszczatowski from their many years of expeditions to the instrument makers.

Programme

One of the most characteristic and important elements of traditional music in Central Poland is undoubtedly the mazurka rhythm. It is a constant source of inspiration for two ensembles, which during their joint concert will present two seemingly different approaches to the oberek groove. The link between the two formations is their leader, violinist, improviser, composer and jazzman, Kacper Malisz. Deeply involved with traditional music since childhood through music-making in the Malisz family band, he develops a new outlook on traditional music in, among others, his jazz quintet and the Suferi ensemble. While being respectful to the old masters and the traditional core of the music he has practised since childhood, Malisz combines oberek rhythms and melodies with influences from modern jazz, electronic music, Romanian music and hip-hop.

Programme

The Duende spirit wandered from distant Spain through mountains, valleys and forests until our Polish meadows he reached. He met dancing gnomes who offered to play with him. How lucky!

Where does music come from? Is it simply all the sounds of the world, or just magically selected? And how are the sounds created? Can they be seen? Panakota, an admirer of ‘cat music’ decides to find answers to these questions by talking to the best experts on the subject, musicians of the Sinfonia Varsovia orchestra.

What do pop hits, tap dancing, hip-hop, jazz music, reggae and capoeira have in common? – The clave (Spanish for key), a distinctive rhythmic pattern that originated many centuries ago in Sub-Saharan Africa. Travelling from the 15th to 19th century along the slave routes from Africa through the Caribbean, South America and into North America, it became a key element of jazz and a whole range of later styles. The outstanding and versatile percussionists, as well as composers and improvisers, Jerzy Rogiewicz and Hubert Zemler, will guide us on a journey to its origins. We will get to know the structure of clave, its types, learn to perform it together and recognise it in pop music. You should equip yourself with a clave (simple instrument) for this journey. It will be klawe (old-fashioned Polish word for swell)!

Programme

What do pop hits, tap dancing, hip-hop, jazz music, reggae and capoeira have in common? – The clave (Spanish for key), a distinctive rhythmic pattern that originated many centuries ago in Sub-Saharan Africa. Travelling from the 15th to 19th century along the slave routes from Africa through the Caribbean, South America and into North America, it became a key element of jazz and a whole range of later styles. The outstanding and versatile percussionists, as well as composers and improvisers, Jerzy Rogiewicz and Hubert Zemler, will guide us on a journey to its origins. We will get to know the structure of clave, its types, learn to perform it together and recognise it in pop music. You should equip yourself with a clave (simple instrument) for this journey. It will be klawe (old-fashioned Polish word for swell)!
