Cracow | Inauguration of the 'Poliphonies' cycle 2022 in Critoteca and premieres i premiery

POLMIC

Cricoteka invites you to the first concert of the ‘Polyphonies’ series in 2022, on the 10th of July at 6.30 p.m., during which the New Music Orchestra conducted by Szymon Bywalec will premiere the latest works of Prof. Artur Zagajewski, secretary of the Łódź Branch of the Polish Composers' Union, and PhD student Paweł Malinowski.

To be an artist is to be sensitive, to be able to admire something, but also to be able to share it. In the works of three contemporary composers - Artur Zagajewski, Jennifer Walshe and Paweł Malinowski - we can find memories of delight, collections of souvenirs, records of emotions, whether in the form of references to literary texts and musical works, or in the form of images, movements, meaningful gestures and objects.
