On the 31st of March, 2023, the latest album by Tomasz Konieczny and Lech Napierała, From Secession to Distortion, will be released by Dal Segno Institute and the Adam Mickiewicz Institute. The promotional concert will take place on the stage of the Cracow Philharmonic at 19.30. The artist endowed with a powerful voice, achieving spectacular successes on stages of the world's largest opera houses, will present songs by Richard Strauss, Aleksander Nowak and Henryk Czyż included on the new album.
This session album is the result of nearly a decade of cooperation between the artists, initiated by a recital with the songs of Richard Strauss, which took place at the Cracow Philharmonic in 2014. The new album includes Aleksander Nowak's series Couplets written to five poems by Bolesław Leśmian, twelve songs by Richard Strauss and Henryk Czyż's Two buffo arias to his own surreal poems, in which there is a lot of ambiguity, sometimes even macabre.
Directly after the concert, in the small foyer of the Cracow Philharmonic, there will be a meeting with Tomasz Konieczny and Lech Napierała, led by Mateusz Borkowski.
