On Thursday, September 26, the piece "VIVA L'autunno", for string orchestra and tape (with an excellent video by Remígiusz Wojaczek), will be presented at the Grosso Modo gallery in Tel Aviv, during The Resonance Sound Art and New Music Film Festival. The event starts at 8:00 p.m. The festival features a variety of works that explore the dynamic relationship between music and visuals. Some pieces translate one medium into the other, while others amplify each other's impact. Ultimately, they all create a harmonious and immersive experience that transcends the boundaries of traditional music and visual arts. (quote from the organizer's promotional materials). The entire festival will last from September 26 to 29.


With some advance notice, I'd like to invite you to Krakow on Sunday, July 28, where at the Solvay Center for Contemporary Art (Zakopiańska 62) we will present the theater play "The Death of Kościuszko", which will be the finale of the "chemistry" Theater Festival. The play starts at 6:00 p.m. The electroacoustic monodrama (that's how I called this hybrid form) is our joint work - mine and the outstanding actor Krzysztof Gordon's. We've already had the opportunity to collaborate with each other and have been discussing such a play for a long time. The starting point was the excellent, very lively, expressive text by Anna Bojarska, from the book "Five Deaths" (Krąg publishing house, 1990), which was prepared for the stage presentation by Krzysztof Gordon. With this text in mind, my music was then created, building the narrative of the whole, emphasizing its drama. And so the monodrama "Kościuszko's Death" was born, which also exists as a radio theater (its premiere took place on September 24, 2021 on El-Stacja radio). And now it's time for the stage premiere, of course performed by Krzysztof Gordon (voice) and with live music by Dariusz Mazurowski (meaning mine). We would also like to thank Max Bojarski, the author's son, for giving us permission to use this excellent text. We invite you to Krakow for the show, more information here: https://www.ckpodgorza.pl/oferta/wydarzenie/smierc-kosciuszki  


On Saturday, June 29, we'll perform a multimedia electroacoustic performance GEDANIÆ MUSICÆ NOVÆ at the Oblate Center for Education and Culture in Gdańsk, as part of a large musical event, i.e. XIII EURO Chamber Music Festival Gdańsk 2024.

On June 18, at the Loreto Theater in Manhattan (NY), together with saxophonist Enzo Filippetti, I'll perform my composition "And I Woke up at the Darkest Dawn Ever", written for baritone and soprano saxophones with an electronic part. The concert will take place as part of the prestigious New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival (NYCEMF), starting at 8 p.m. local time. My participation in the event and trip to New York will be possible thanks to funding from the Adam Mickiewicz Institute, as part of the Polish Culture in the World program, the aim of which is to support and promote Polish culture by supporting individual participation in events abroad.

On Sunday, April 28, Radio Gdańsk will present a rebroadcast of the concert from the "aMuz on Radio Gdańsk" series, which took place last Saturday and was filled with compositions for accordion with an electronic track - including two of my pieces also. I had the pleasure of producing electronic parts in all these works, the concert was really interesting, and the performers were young musicians from different countries. If anyone hasn't heard it live and is interested, I recommend it. The rebroadcast can be listened to traditionally on the radio, but also on the internet - either in a browser (https://radiogdansk.pl/sluchaj-online/) or via any radio application.
