Each of the pieces has a fascinating story behind it – both about the circumstances of its creation and sources of creative inspiration, as well as about the artistic encounters that accompanied its first performances. This repertoire showcases not only the richness of contemporary Polish music, but also its characteristic sensitivity and melancholy, emotions deeply rooted in Polish tradition, yet open to dialogue with the cultures of the world.
