West Side Story / The Hexatonic’s concert

Thu, Nov 7, 2024, 19:30
Alicja Matuszczyk (Oboe), Agata Piątek (Clarinet), Tomasz Żymła (Bass clarinet), Cezary Rembisz (Bassoon), Bartłomiej Duś (Saxophon), Magdalena Duś (Piano)
With one reed or two – the soft sound of the „wood”, i.e. woodwind instruments, is indispensable in orchestral music. Bringing together the related sounds of the oboe, the clarinet, the bassoon, and the saxophone, also has its deep tradition in chamber music. And what was not written for these instruments, can be arranged for them, thanks to the breadth of opportunities they offer. The hexatonic scale present in the name of the ensemble, i.e. that with six notes per octave, is also known as the blues scale, without which there would be no jazz. Hence the sentiment for music by Debussy and Ravel, in whose pieces a similar scale can be found. Not to mention the composing oeuvre of Leonard Bernstein, for whom jazz was as important an influence as the great European classics. While all these tropes may be traced down in the programme of the Hexatonic concert, one thing remains certain: a sound that caresses the ear. Adam Suprynowicz Concert duration: approximately 90 minutes

THE NECKS

Wed, Nov 6, 2024, 19:30
The Necks (Jazz Trio)
Over the course of 37 years, The Necks have released 18 albums of music that defies description: not entirely avant-garde, nor minimalist, nor ambient, nor jazz, and yet all of these, and more. The band’s extended improvisations, frequently underpinned by an insistent groove, have a deceptive simplicity that masks the music’s deep layers, leading the Los Angeles Times to call the group “a magic act masquerading as a piano trio.” The Necks make their Pierre Boulez Saal debut with a career-spanning program of classics and recent pieces.

The Odyssey

Fri, Apr 11, 2025, 19:30
Markus Lehtinen (Conductor), Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg (Orchestra)
One of the most important pieces of poetry is the epic "Odyssey" by the Greek lyricist Homer. John Neumeier decided to dedicate to this comprehensive work about the hero Odysseus and his adventurous journey at the invitation of the Athens opera and concert house Megaron in 1995. For his ballet version his aim was to get as close as possible to the roots of the epic and at the same time translate the literary original onto a level of movement. A prerequisite for this was the commissioning of a work by the Greek composer George Couroupos and the collaboration with the Greek stage and costume designer Yannis Kokkos. ten years of wandering ten years of return ten years of healing after ten years of war The Odyssey is inconceivable without war. For me, the point is that a person has to find his way back to himself after ten years of war. He must return to wholeness journeying back from a macho world of battle and war, defined in a negative sense as male, to rediscover his feminine aspect. Perhaps, this is Penelope.
