The figure of Ignacy Jan Paderewski <\/strong>is closely associated with Lviv. Honorary citizen of the city, virtuoso musician, legendary pianist, famous composer who received the support of the fascinated Lviv public, artist who actively expressed his artistic and life creed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Leszek Mo\u017cd\u017cer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Virtuoso pianist, composer and producer Leszek Mo\u017cd\u017cer has been recognized as the greatest discovery in Polish jazz of the last decade. His fame outside Poland can perhaps be compared to that of pop musicians: the network of Mo\u017cd\u017cer’s fan clubs spreads from the USA and Brazil to Japan. With classical musical education and jazz improvisational thinking, Leszek has formed his own signature style that is easy to recognize from the first chords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Leszek Mo\u017cd\u017cer has collaborated with the most famous modern jazzmen. In particular, such names as Arthur Blight, Buster Williams, Billy Harper, Joe Lovano, Pat Metheny and Archie Shepp are worth mentioning. The pianist recorded with Tomasz Stanko, Michal Urbaniak and Anna Maria Jopek, performed pieces of Krzysztof Komeda and many other modern composers. The calling card of the musician is his jazz interpretation of Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Chopin’s themes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By means of the festival its organizers want to show the exceptional nature of the creative personality of Ignacy Jan Paderewski and value of his musical heritage, return the proper rank to his music, and to cover the joint musical heritage of Poland and Ukraine in his activities.
