As every year, the Katowice Kultura Natura Festival coincides with the museum night. Specially for this evening, on the 13th of May, 2023 NOSPR will turn into a nightmare place. Cuckoo clocks will move from the labyrinth to the foyer and play spooky melodies, and NOSPR animators will show the audience around the building in a dark atmosphere.
In Erwin Stache's installation, cuckoo clocks made of organ pipes will wander between the foyer and the labyrinth in the NOSPR outdoors, and what they sing will be decided by the audience, controlled by a special mechanism.
Pupils of Katowice Music School of the 2nd degree united by their interest in the rebellious music of Astor Piazzolla, invite you to a special concert in the NOSPR foyer. Three 20-minute shows of organ music from horror movies are also planned (22.30, 23.00, 00.00). Admission to these events is free.

The programme of the Hashtag Ensemble’s concert on the 6th of May, 2023 at 4 p.m. at the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews consists of four works by American composer Judd Greenstein, Ukrainian composer Victoria Poleva, Israeli composer Aviy Kopelman and Polish composer Wojciech Błażejczyk.
The theme of Angels of Peace by Wojciech Błażejczyk is the horror of the war in Donbas. The title refers to the medal, a traditional gift given at the Vatican to heads of state. In 2015, Vladimir Putin received him from the hands of the Pope. In this piece, Błażejczyk mockingly recites fragments of Putin's ‘peace’ speeches into the trumpet (‘We will always be on the side of the forces of peace with those who choose the path of equal partnership, who deny war as contrary to the very essence of life and human nature’). The piece evolves into a thrilling finale.

In 2018, Tomasz Raff premiered Mieczysław Weinberg's song cycles Triptych Op. 99 and Profile Op. 88 at the August-Kestner-Museum in Hanover. In May 2023, after 5 years of historical turmoil in the world, the artist returns to Germany to perform an extended Weinberg programme. The concerts will take place on the 7th of May at 5 p.m. in the innovative co-working space ‘Die Rampe – Hannover’ and on the 6th of May 6 at 7.45 p.m. in Göttingen, in the Clavier-Salon run by Prof. Gerrit Zitterbart.
Both recitals will be performed by Tomasz Raff in a duet with pianist Monika Kolasińska. The intimate atmosphere of the recitals and the important message contained in the raw, sparing form of Mieczysław Weinberg's music will be enriched by video-art visualizations by Zuzanna Grzegorowska.
Although Wajnberg composed his last songs about 40 years ago, they have become alarmingly relevant now, when the ghosts of the almost forgotten wartime past have awakened again.
