On the 12^th of November, 2023 at 6 p.m., an improvisatory duel will be fought at the NOSPR Concert Hall by organists Karol Mossakowski, Thomas Ospital and Sebastian Kuchler-Blessing.

It will be a concert that refers to the tradition of improvisation in the spirit of co-participation of talented artists, but its essence will be not so much competition as interactivity and lively contact with the audience. What's more, the audience will have a real impact on the musical course of the evening. A favorite song, a rock'n'roll hit or maybe the soundtrack of a cult movie? Nothing is impossible for our improvisers!

The curator of the third part of the 1^st Warsaw Experiment Studio is Anna Jędrzejewska, who invited Sofia Borges and Katarzyna Markowska to cooperate and experiment. We will learn about their approach to improvisation at Hashtag Lab on the 8^th of November, 2023 at 7.30 p.m.

Jak podkreśla Anna Jędrzejewska, "Jako kuratorka chcę zapraszać artystki zainteresowane demontowaniem wizji muzyki absolutnej, co rozumiem jako poszukiwanie otwartego paradygmatu wartości. Teorie dotyczące procesu tworzenia się wiązań, teoria aktora-sieci Latoura, rezonują z formułą performatywną, techniką improwizacji i przetwarzaniem elektronicznym dźwięku".

In the "Pulse of Life" project, the artists are located at two symmetrical ends of the room with the figure of the performer in the center. The process of obtaining sounds from movement action and improvisation based on this pattern are the main axis of the new interdisciplinary work.

The International Polish Music Competition has only had three editions, but it is slowly gaining the status of one of the largest events of this type in the country. Reverie Piano Duo - winners of the 3^rd edition - will perform at NOSPR on the 7^th of November, 2023 at 7.30 p.m.

Silver medalists of the music games in the chamber ensemble category will come to NOSPR. Rozalia Kierc and Maria Moliszewska have been creating Reverie Piano Duo since 2020. The ensemble initially studied with Stefan Wojtas, and currently cooperates with Bartłomiej Wezner at the Academy of Music in Bydgoszcz. In search of an original artistic vision, the pianists passionately explore unconventional repertoire for two pianos and four hands. They delighted the audience, the jury and the Competition commentators with their sensitivity, natural playing, almost jazz-like swing and a mischievous twinkle in their eyes.
