Warsaw | ĄsąBąble: sensory concert for children 'Dźwiękocyk'

Media patronage: Polish Music Information Centre POLMIC

HashtagLab 25 11 23

On the 25th of November, 2023 at 10.00 and 12.00 Hashtag Lab invites ĄsąBąble again! This time, the concert for babies 0-3 and slightly older children (aged 3-7) will be accompanied by Intibag sensory objects, flute, piano and percussion instruments.

"Sound Baby" is a sensory concert for families with children, during which we will experience the sensations of contact with Intibag objects and look for the answer to the question: can sound have weight?

Wrapped in layers of the sounds of Morton Feldman and George Crumb, we will look for space to relax and meet what sleeps inside us. The title of the concert refers to weighted blankets, which influence our parasympathetic system, reducing stress and calming down.

Patronat medialny nad sezonem koncertowym 2023 / 2024 NOSPR sprawuje Polskie Centrum Informacji Muzycznej POLMIC.

NOSPR 24 11 23Koncert Cameraty Silesii w NOSPR 24 listopada 2023 o godz. 19.30 stanowi krótki przegląd najwybitniejszych kompozycji chóralnych polskich kompozytorów współczesnych: Wojciech Kilara, Henryka Mikołaja Góreckiego i Krzysztofa Pendereckiego. Poza tym po raz pierwszy zabrzmią nowe dzieła Joanny Wnuk-Nazarowej na chór mieszany.

Program otwiera Modlitwa do Małej Tereski Kilara – utwór skomponowany z okazji Jubileuszu Uniwersytetu Śląskiego, stanowiący obok Agnus Dei przykład zakorzenienia wokalnych kompozycji w średniowiecznej pobożności: medytacji, kontemplacji i modlitewnym skupieniu. Podobnie po kluczowe symbole chrześcijaństwa – Trójcę, krzyż, opozycję ziemi i nieba, opowieść o Bogu i człowieku powołanym do Jego naśladowania - sięga Krzysztof Penderecki, m in. w utworach Agnus Dei z Missa Brevis, Miserere z Pasji wg św. Łukasza i O gloriosa virginum.
