The opening concert of the 54th artistic season of the Amadeus Chamber Orchestra of Polish Radio on 3 October 2021 at 6.00 p.m. at the Auditorium Hall of Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań will premiere Maciej Zieliński's Barocode II for reed trio and strings.
The piece will be performed by the Krakow Reed Trio. Barocode II alludes to the style of Baroque music. However, the musical material does not contain borrowings or quotations from works from the period, but is modified using the editing technique and effects, which can be obtained, for example, by accelerating or slowing down the material recorded on a vinyl record or tape. The composer also uses loops, layered motifs and other procedures characteristic of contemporary sampling techniques. The musicians perform the work without the use of any electronic devices.
Additionally, the Amadeus Chamber Orchestra of Polish Radio will perform Mikołaj Rimski-Korsakov's Scheherezade arranged by Agnieszka Duczmal and under her baton.
Co-financed by the Minister of Culture, National Heritage and Sport from the Culture Promotion Fund as part of the "Composing Commissions" programme carried out by the National Institute of Music and Dance.
