Katowice | New Music Orchestra at NOSPR

OMN

The New Music Orchestra conducted by Szymon Bywalc invites you to a chamber concert, which will take place on Sunday, February 17, 2019 at 6:00 p.m. at the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra headquarters in Katowice. The prgoramme will include works by Marcel Chyrzyński and Piotr Warzecha. Bartłomiej Duś, Rafał Łuc and Silesian Accordion Quintet will perform with the OMN.

Concerto for saxophone and sinfonietta "War Game" by Marcel Chyrzyński was premiered at the Krakow Composers' Festival in 2015. The composition lasting almost 20 minutes is extremely energetic and at times dramatic. Piotr Warzecha's Moments III presents the accordion sound palette by emphasizing the nuances of subsequent segments and the dynamic differences between them.

Almost in all the works of Toshio Hosokawa the soloist represents a human being, while the orchestra – nature and the universe – both external and internal. Voyage IV Extasis is intended for solo accordion and chamber ensemble. Hosokawa believes that the beginning of the accordion was a Japanese traditional shô instrument, a kind of oral harmonica in which the sound is produced by inhaling and exhaling air.

During the evening, we will alo listen to the composition of Seonjin Yun – laureate of the 3rd International Composers' Competition "Patri Patriae" for the piece dedicated to the memory of pope John Paul II. Rituale II was honored with the third prize and additionally with a prize awarded by the Artistic Director of the New Music Orchestra, in the form of performance of the composition as part of the cycle of concerts of the New Music Orchestra at the NOSPR in the season 2018/2019.
