hoshii sessions live feat. Kukon, schafter, Kasia Lins, Hubert., Daria ze Śląska & The Dumplings

This concert will be special as it marks the first hoshii sessions on a large stage with so many guest artists. The event continues the iconic series that the band initiated on YouTube, surprising listeners with a unique mix of various musical genres.hoshii is a group of strong musical personalities, where each member brings their own unique sound and is pushed out of their comfort zone to find common ground with the others.hoshii, which means "to desire" in Japanese, is the latest project created by Kuba Więcek, who returns to the jazz scene with new inspirations gathered from collaborations with leading figures in the hip-hop and alternative scenes. The band's music features thoughtfully crafted, carefully constructed beats by Kuba, which have been transformed into a jazz quartet and produced in a way that aims to redefine contemporary jazz. The band consists of: Grzegorz Tarwid – a pianist who studied with Kuba in Copenhagen, Max Mucha – a bassist known for working with Christian Scott, and Miłosz Berdzik – a drummer and recent graduate of the prestigious Berklee College of Music.Concert duration: approximately 90 minutesThe event is organized by https://www.wagart.eu/

The Festival of Premieres

The Festival of Premieres is a celebration of discoveries – both the latest ones and those which had to wait for their time to come. After all, the masters of traditional and baroque music taught us that discoveries can be made after hundreds or even thousands of years. The forgotten minimalistic works by Tomasz Sikorski and Zygmunt Krauze waited decades for their premieres, and so did Barbara Buczek’s Anekumena, which could not be more stylistically distant from the two. In order to discover themselves, composers sometimes need extraordinary soloists who play unusual instruments (Paweł Romańczuk’s theremin in Paweł Hendrich’s Sfumato) or such instruments that are only superficially usual (Małgorzata Walentynowicz in Jacek Sotomski’s Piano Concerto). An intergenerational, acoustic-electric meeting is about to take place between the Silesian String Quartet and the NeoQuartet, while the ensemble OMN will perform together with the Camerata Silesia. We will also take care of the little ones (Baby Opera by Ewa Fabiańska-Jelińska), and the AUKSO strings will sing Krzysztof Knittel’s composition on “the gift of life” (the Hawaiian ka makana o ke ola). And what discoveries will the Warsaw-based Hashtag Ensemble bring us? See (and hear!) you at NOSPR from 14th to 16th March.
