American Minimalism

Date & Time

Venue

Narodowej Orkiestry Symfonicznej Polskiego Radia, Chamber Hall (Katowice)

American minimalism stems from the assumptions of experimental music – firstly, we create a working model and see what happens when we repeat it, gradually introducing variations. The perception of the human brain tricks us, which is why such procedures result in mesmerising auditory illusions. Philip Glass and Steve Reich are the founding fathers of this popular genre. Glass's quartets are more classical and never evade romantic phrases or recitative melodies. Steve Reich's Different Trains, written in 1988, on the... Read full text

NOSPR / Klauza / Nizioł / The American Dream

Fri, Apr 4, 2025, 19:30

Narodowej Orkiestry Symfonicznej Polskiego Radia, Concert Hall (Katowice)

Michał Klauza (Conductor), NOSPR, Bartłomiej Nizioł (Violin)

The (co)creators of the works to be presented in this concert share an American connection. Bach’s Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor, written for the organ, was arranged for an orchestra by the exquisite conductor Leopold Stokowski, who spent most of his life in the United States, leading such ensembles as the famous Philadelphia Orchestra. In 1940, it was with them that he recorded the soundtrack for Walt Disney’s Fantasia, which has since become a legend, having prepared the symphonic version of the famous Toccata and Fugue in D minor for this purpose in particular (he was awarded an honorary Oscar for his achievements). Allegedly – due to the similarity of their surnames – he was often mistaken with Zygmunt Stojowski, who left Europe for the States at the beginning of the 20th century and remained there until his death in 1946. On the other side of the pond, the latter was chair of the piano department at the New York Institute of Musical Art, also teaching at the Von Ende School of Music. The Violin Concerto in G minor, Op. 22, is an early composition of his, created at the end of the 19th century. Unusually expressive, it is imbued with the Romantic spirit, its violin part glimmering with brilliant virtuosity. Henryk Wars – known in the States as Henry Vars – is predominantly recognised in his homeland as a pioneer of Polish jazz, composer of film music, and author of such smash hits as Miłość ci wszystko wybaczy, Umówiłem się z nią na dziewiątą and Zimny drań. His outstanding symphonic pieces were only discovered in the late 1990s. Among those, there was the exquisite Symphony No. 1 (1949), which blends the late-Romantic sense of drama, flawless instrumentation and a cinematic scope.Agnieszka Nowok-ZychConcert duration (intermission included): approximately 90 minutes

Masecki / Markowicz / A fresh look at Brahms’ music

Tue, Oct 1, 2024, 19:30

Narodowej Orkiestry Symfonicznej Polskiego Radia, Chamber Hall (Katowice)

Marcin Masecki (Piano), Marcin Markowicz (Violin)

Johannes Brahms is considered a restorer of German chamber music and the one who gave it its shape in the second half of the 19th century. His works constitute a point of reference without which it is difficult to imagine a chamber music festival or concert series. It is similarly difficult to think seriously about a violin repertoire devoid of his sonatas, even if the composer himself called them “sonatas for piano and violin”. The intention here is not to push the violin away to the background, but rather to emphasise the piano being a full partner in the duo. Thus, the creation of this unique, intimate dialogue and the construction of the consistent form that will eventually appear to the listener as a complete (master)piece require two artists. This evening, a fresh artistic perspective is guaranteed thanks to the participation of two exceptional instrumentalists who are also composers themselves, which gives them their own sense of narrative and meaning in music. This will be their Brahms. Adam Suprynowicz Concert duration: approximately 70 minutes

Turicum Quartet / Menuet of the witches

Thu, Oct 3, 2024, 19:30

Narodowej Orkiestry Symfonicznej Polskiego Radia, Chamber Hall (Katowice)

Turicum Quartet

Joseph Haydn has been called “Papa Haydn”, both affectionately and pejoratively. Meanwhile, he was a composer whose mastery and unpredictability went hand in hand. Let us appreciate the emotional glimmering of the music, its surprising turns, sense of humour (the “menuet of the witches” quite unlike the court dance), or the finale inspired by music of the Romani people living in the borderlands of Austria and Hungary, where the composer spent most of his life. The spirit of Austria-Hungary is also referenced – already after the fall of the dual monarchy – in the modernist parodying miniatures by Erwin Schulhoff, who enhanced them with motifs of his native Czechia. Even though Szymanowski knew the capital of Austria-Hungary, he did not like it; his String Quartet No. 1 represents a different direction, as Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz wrote: “Never before has any of his works breathed such a scorching air of the South; not the heat of the Sicilian south or the mourning of the Greek heat, in which Pan’s flute kills hearts – but the juicy and ripe heat which smells like the crops of Ukraine.” Adam Suprynowicz Concert duration: approximately 60 minutes

Chopin and Bach / Hayato Sumino’s piano recital

Sun, Oct 6, 2024, 18:00

Narodowej Orkiestry Symfonicznej Polskiego Radia, Concert Hall (Katowice)

Hayato Sumino (Piano)

Bach and Chopin. Two worlds, two geniuses, two points of reference for the tradition of the keyboard. The former is the essence of spirituality, the musical structure and the richness of the baroque world. The latter symbolises musical romanticism. Chopin scholars emphasise the fact that he renewed Bach’s mastery of counterpoint and finesse of ornament, using them as foundations upon which he built a musical world of his own, still much beloved everywhere around the world. Their music serves as the basis for a fantasy of one’s own, and as material to be reworked, for artists for whom playing others’ music is not enough. The twenty-nine-year-old Japanese pianist Hayato Sumino follows in the footsteps of the wonderful eccentric, Friedricha Gulda, whose scandalising improvisations opened secret passages between classical music and jazz. On the sidelines, they are supported by the ghost of Maurice Ravel, who defined the concept of stylisation for the 20th century. In this concert’s programme, you can hear the neverending expansion of the musical universe. Adam Suprynowicz Concert duration (intermission included): approximately 100 minutes

Silesian String Quartet / British Fantasy on the 110th anniversary of the birth of Andrzej Panufnik

Sat, Oct 12, 2024, 18:00

Narodowej Orkiestry Symfonicznej Polskiego Radia, Chamber Hall (Katowice)

“Music is the expression of emotions and feelings. I hold as my ideal a piece in which poetic content is combined with excellence of musical craftmanship. Poetry alone does not determine the musical value of a piece, just as craftmanship alone risks falling into a pitfall of using worn-out formulas. Enduring beauty is only born from a balance of both” Andrzej Panufnik (1952) Silesian String Quartet – 45 years of experience, more than 150 first performances of chamber works, thousands of concerts in the world's most famous concert halls, more than 60 albums, more than 20 nominations, 10 ‘Fryderyk’ statuettes and the most important – the ‘musical Oscar’, i.e., the Gramophone Classical Music Award. The ensemble specialises in the discovery, promotion and recording of Polish music and is famous for its first performances under the guidance of composers. Ditching the traditional hierarchical model of performing music, the ensemble emphasises exchange and collaboration with other musicians. This season, the artists will introduce the work of Sir Andrzej Panufnik on the 110th anniversary of the birth of the only Polish composer to be awarded a title of nobility by Queen Elizabeth II. The programme will be complemented by works by native British artists, i.e., Ralph Vaughan Williams and Edward Elgar. It includes one of the most beautiful chamber works of the 20th century – Edward Elgar's Piano Quintet in A Minor. Imbued with mystery, the piece was inspired by the charming yet somewhat murky atmosphere of the woods surrounding the cottage at Flexham Park in Sussex, near Brinkwells, where Elgar created his compositions. The impact of this setting is perceptible in the music, which impresses with its richness of expression and power of sound. The late Romantic style of the piece adds to its unique character, full of deep, dark tone, enhancing the impression of mystery and longing.

Great works of music

Thu, Oct 17, 2024, 19:30

Narodowej Orkiestry Symfonicznej Polskiego Radia, Chamber Hall (Katowice)

Hanna Holeksa (Piano), Aleksander Daszkiewicz (Violin), Beata Ogryzek (Violin), Dawid Jadamus (Viola), Adam Krzeszowiec (Cello), Marek Romanowski (Double bass)

Why not play piano concertos as a chamber ensemble? It would be impossible to show rational obstacles. In the times before the phonograph, that was exactly how people learnt great works of music that were not being performed at a concert hall near them. Privately, at home, at meetings, making music together. It is the meeting of artistic individualities and their willingness to collaborate that give chamber music its sense. Hence the presence of Chopin’s Concerto in E minor in the version for five instruments today, on the 175th death anniversary of this most important Polish musician of all. For the same reason, its counterpoint will be the famous Trout, Schubert’s masterpiece which introduced the early romantic sensitivity to chamber music. This is music derived from the spirit of a simple song. These two romantic build up layers of human emotions, activate affections and pile up associations. This is all we need.
