De Profundis - musical monodrama by Andrzej Chyra / premiere

Jeu de l'oie musical

Nature, water, wilderness / Meditation music

According to the ancient philosophers, water is the element that governs the world. As for physicists, they claim that it 'listens' and resonates with everything around it. Its internal structure changes not only according to its location or the degree of pollution, but it is affected by everything that happens in its immediate surroundings, including acoustic factors, i.e., sounds and music. For centuries, its constant flow has fascinated artists and composers. The October evening is a musical meditation on water and its sounds in the symbolic context of nature and human existence. Peter Ablinger's Regenstück takes us on a musical journey through the world of rain. The composition is a complex dialogue between the instruments and the sounds of water running down the membranes and resonating in the space. In Rain Coming, Tōru Takemitsu reflects on water as a source of life and infinite inspiration. The piece belongs to the Waterscape collection, in which water is not the only theme. The composer explores ideas of fluidity, harmony and tonality that unfold like streams falling into a river and flowing towards the sea. In contrast, Katarzyna Szwed's I, the Wilderness introduces us directly into the depths of the forest, where the whisper of water and the rustle of trees form a harmonious wholeness that encourages us to immerse ourselves in nature and contemplate it.

Arditti Quartet / The quartet and modern masterpieces / cancelled

The Arditti Quartet is a chamber music legend. Half a century ago, the violinist Irvine Arditti invited three friends of his, students at London’s Royal Academy of Music, to perform Krzysztof Penderecki’s String quartet No. 2 together. Since then, the ensemble has premiered hundreds of contemporary pieces, released over 200 albums and traveled all the world with new music. The Arditti Quartet will perform a 20th-century masterpiece by Witold Lutosławski, music by Lucia Dlugoszewski, an American composer with Polish roots who is still little known here, and a piece by James Dillon, the quartet’s collaborator since the 80s.

New Music Orchestra / Journeys into the unknown

The contemporary music concert cycle presented by the OMN Ensemble is a chance to immerse oneself in a world of new sounds and compositions. Established in 1996, for nearly three decades the Ensemble has been presenting contemporary works, always following its mission of exploring and promoting those of particular significance for Polish and global musical culture. Their experimental performances lead audiences through the complexity, diversity, ambiguity and polyphonicity of contemporary music. Every year, tens of thousands of new pieces of music are composed. Among those, one can find very good and excellent works, or even works of pure genius. The OMN Ensemble, working first under the baton of its founder, Aleksander Lasoń, and since 2006 under the artistic directorship of the conductor Szymon Bywalec, constantly turns even the most challenging scores into performances. Every concert becomes a journey into the unknown, filled with risk and discovery of new modes of collaboration and creation. These explorations open for the listener a path to a deeper understanding of contemporary music. Alexandra KozowiczConcert duration: approximately 70 minutes

Musical Symbols

Tone, sound, melody, rhythm – where do they come from? Instrument, voice, orchestra, choir – why do they sound the way they do? What do dots, dashes and flourishes mean? How do you decipher the language of notes and scores? Music is full of mysteries to be explored and riddles to be solved. If you want to take up the challenge and turn into real musical explorers, come to the Warsaw Philharmonic to meet FeNek the Fox. A detective mustn’t overlook even the smallest detail, so in order for you to not only hear but also see the clues left by FeNek, bring binoculars with you. Bring to the concert… small binoculars
