During the concert in the Chamber Hall of the National Forum of Music on the 30th of March, 2023 at 19.00 the singer Szymon Komasa will appear, who will present songs by Polish composers. In addition, the repertoire will be enriched by works by Johannes Brahms and masterpieces of French music of Claude Debussy or Erik Satie - arranged for two pianos, with Sophia Muñoz and Adam Kośmieja as performers.
Stefan Kisielewski believed in the idea of pure music, free from any senses and meanings. However, he made an exception by composing vocal lyrical miniatures to the words of Konstanty Ildefons Gałczyński in the 1950s, reflecting the intimate nature of poetry and contradicting the main idea of his own work. Komasa will perform two of them, belonging to the Seven Songs cycle: The Blind Sleepwalker's Prayer and The Request for Happy Isles.
We will also hear pre-war songs by Grażyna Bacewicz: Roses and Solitude, which are examples of subtle and at the same time masterful love lyricism.
