On 26 January 2020 at 5.00 p.m., the Artur Rubinstein Łódź Philharmonic invites you to an organ concert performed by Krzysztof Urbaniak & Łukasz Mosur. Before the concert, you'll be able to use VR – a virtual reality system that lets you look inside the organ!
The richness of the organ sound and the ability to change its timbre make this instrument perfect for four hands performances. During the carnival organ concert, Krzysztof Urbaniak and Łukasz Mosur will perform original compositions and transcriptions of orchestral works.
Four-hand piano pieces were particularly popular in the 19th century, as part of the repertoire of amateur and salon music. In 1884 Juliusz Zarębski wrote a collection of dances and melodies A travers Pologne (Through Poland), which refers to Polish musical tradition (mazurka, polonaise) and to Chopin's works. An expression of patriotism is also the famous polonaise Farewell to the Fatherland, attributed to Michał Kleofas Ogiński, which we will hear paraphrased by Maurycy Moszkowski. The programme will also include baroque compositions (J.S. Bach, J. Ph. Rameau) as well as contemporary ones, among others Sound of the Future by Krzysztof Urbaniak and Łukasz Mosur.
