Sinfonia Varsovia at Nowy Teatr – concert of premieres

Join Sinfonia Varsovia for a special concert of premieres on 29 November at Nowy Teatr. The program will include Polish premieres of pieces by Tristan Murail and Wojtek Blecharz as well as world premieres of works commissioned especially for this event from Paweł Mykietyn, Olga Podgaiskaya, and Maksym Kalinowski. The fourteen musicians of the Sinfonia Varsovia Camerata chamber ensemble will be led by conductor Michał Klauza.

The project will showcase different faces of new music: from the spectralism of La Chambre des cartes (2011) by the leading representative of this direction, French composer Tristan Murail through the acoustic experiments of ocean is not enough (2014) by Wojtek Blecharz to the postminimalism of The Absence of Heaven (2022) by Belarusian composer Olga Podgaiskaya. We will also hear the premieres of Paweł Mykietyn’s Voyelles (2022) and Maksym Kalinowski’s Rave (2022), which is dedicated to Mykietyn.

The concert is a continuation of the cooperation between Sinfonia Varsovia and Teatr Nowy in Warsaw.
