Olsztyn | "Stage for Polish Music”: Motion Trio

FWMOne of the most famous and energetic Polish accordion ensembles, Motion Trio, will perform on 13 November 2020 at 7.00 p.m. on the stage of the Feliks Nowowiejski Warmian-Masurian Philharmonic in Olsztyn.

Motion Trio was founded in 1996 by Janusz Wojtarowicz – leader and author of most of the compositions. They are a phenomenon on the European and global music market. Janusz Wojtarowicz, Paweł Baranek and Marcin Gałażyn are world class accordionists. Using all the advantages of the accordion in their creations, they continually explore the new possibilities of this instrument, changing the way that it is perceived. The music style, which they present in their creation is the widely understood "crossover" containing elements of jazz, world music, rock, classical and even contemporary music.

The upcoming concert will feature Polish works for accordion trio as well as pieces arranged for the ensemble by Janusz Wojtarowicz and Marcin Gałażyn. The programme will include Chopin's preludes and nocturnes, Ignacy Jan Paderewski's Nocturne, Op. 16 No. 4, Krzysztof Komeda's Lullaby, Wojciech Kilar's Orawa, and Witold Lutosławski's Bucolics. We will also hear rarely performed works for accordion trio by the Silesian composer and accordion virtuoso Andrzej Krzanowski and Bronisław Kazimierz Przybylski.

The concert is co-organized as part of the "Stage for Polish music" programme of the Institute of Music and Dance.
