New Music in the Old Town Hall / Concert on the threshold of winter

The Baltic Sea Culture Centre in Gdańsk in cooperation with the Academy of Music in Gdańsk and the Polish Society for Electro-Acoustic Music (PSeME) is pleased to invite you to the next concert in the series “New Music in the Old Town Hall”.

The programme comprises electro-acoustic pieces composed by international artists (including the first performance of Edward Sielicki’s composition) in intriguing performances by outstanding musicians connected with Gdańsk – Małgorzata Walentynowicz (piano) and Alina Ratkowska (harpsichord).

Winter is just around the corner, as is the next concert in our series titled “New Music in the Old Town Hall”. This edition, falling on Saint Nicholas' Day, will be a feast for the lovers of keyboard instruments, particularly the piano and harpsichord. The performing artists are two excellent instrumentalists connected with Tri-City, with international pieces in their repertoire.
Małgorzata Walentynowicz will present two compositions for piano with electronics, one of which will feature forms of piano preparation. The artist will perform a multi-media piece for electronic keyboard with a video projection. The concert will be a real overview of various trends and aesthetic attitudes in contemporary music.
Alina Ratkowska will play the harpsichord, rarely used in electro-acoustic music, which is a pity as it offers exciting sound possibilities. One of the pieces, written especially for this artist, will have its world première here.

The Saint Nicholas' Day’s mood will be maintained by a present prepared specifically for this occasion – a musical tale by Edward Sielicki interpreted by the actor Krzysztof Gordon.
It has always been our ambition to showcase the wealth and appeal of electro-acoustic music and we hope to present a new facet of this genre in the upcoming concert.

START:
7 p.m.
ADDMISSION FEE: Tickets - 10 PLN to buy one hour before the concert.
