True Musicians Tournament - Nowowiejski in 3D

Feliks Nowowiejski's 140th birthday this year is a unique excuse to look at the part of the composer's work which draws inspiration directly from the themes of folk music. Nowowiejski willingly used the richness of Polish folklore to write songs and pieces inspired by melodies from Upper Silesia, Greater Poland, Kuyavia and Lesser Poland. He also used folk music from his native Warmia.

Once again the Szczecin Philharmonic musicians will meet on stage together with musicians specialising in traditional music. The program of the concert will include selected works by Feliks Nowowiejski, as well as songs which were the source material for the composer. Reconstructions of traditional melodies, classical performances of compositions in accordance with the composer’s score and creative interpretation in contemporary arrangements by Maciej Prochaska – these are three dimensions of Nowowiejski's music prepared specifically for the third True Musicians Tournament.
