A Clay Vase

Sun, Mar 16, 2025, 11:00

Filharmonia Narodowa, Concert Hall (Warszawa)

Warsaw Philharmonic Choir, Bartosz Michałowski (Conductor), Bartosz Michałowski (Chorus Director), Trio Legend, Agnieszka Zahaczewska-Książek (Piano), Krzysztof Katana (Violin), Monika Krasicka-Gajownik (Cello), Agata Kawełczyk-Starosta (Presenter)

Among FeNek’s clutter, there’s an old clay vase. Just an ordinary vase, slightly dusty, a family heirloom... but don’t let that fool you! It’s not ordinary at all. Whenever music is played in the Concert Hall, wavy patterns always appear on it. A long line flashes when violinists draw their bows, tiny dots appear when a pianist’s fingers make a tinkling sound, or a little mouse flits by as a choir sings about it. The patterns and shapes change as quickly as the colourful sounds in the music. If you’re curious to find out what other secrets the clay vase holds, come to the concert at the Philharmonic, and don’t forget to bring a sheet of paper and a colourful marker. Bring to the concert… a sheet of paper and a colourful marker

A Music Kaleidoscope

Sun, Mar 23, 2025, 14:00

Filharmonia Narodowa, Chamber Music Hall (Warszawa)

Alan Turonek (Trumpet), Michał Zaborski (Viola), Karolina Mysłek (Percussion), Justyna Żołnacz (Piano), Jarosław Praszczałek (Presenter)

Attention! All music lovers are cordially invited to a great display of virtuosity! A trumpet in one corner, percussion in another, and a piano between them. The viola, often underestimated, will try to reconcile them. Each instrument will showcase its unique capabilities. What do you think – will they perform better solo, or is it worth joining forces and playing as an ensemble? Younger and older listeners will be told about the history and construction of these instruments. We’ll also consider why they sound so dignified, while not shying away from numerous musical embellishments.

A Musical Bunch

Sun, May 11, 2025, 11:00

Filharmonia Narodowa, Concert Hall (Warszawa)

Vocal ensemble NotaBene, Andrzej Borzym (Art Director), Halina Szkodzińska (Piano), Agata Kawełczyk-Starosta (Presenter)

FeNek is occasionally visited by a musical gang. So what is it? Well, a gang is a group of people who like and respect each other and are harmonious, not only at concerts. Every meeting brings new musical adventures: together they figure out how to give each other a tune, tap out a rhythm or catch a harmony, while asking each other strange questions. ‘Do tigers eat irises?’ ‘Which is better to have: feathers or quills?’ ‘Who’s the mysterious pumpkin eater?’ As you may have guessed, this is quite a crazy bunch, but they’re also sensitive and attentive to lyrical, romantic sounds... played, for example, on the piano. If you’d like to join the musical gang, come to the concert at the Philharmonic, and don’t forget to bring along... a hand-made drum. Bring to the concert… a hand-made drum
