Concert Line-up & Artist Profiles
1. HVMBLE
The night kicks off with an energetic, fresh, and innovative jazz trio
whose sound seamlessly blends modern jazz aesthetics with open, free
improvisation. Comprising award-winning laureates from prestigious
competitions like the Junior Jazz Festival and Blue Note Poznań, they are
one of the most exciting young forces on the scene.
2. Marcin Masecki Trio
The second set belongs to the multi-award-winning trio led by Marcin
Masecki, a defining figure of Poland’s contemporary music landscape. A
Berklee College of Music alumnus, Masecki completely rejects rigid genre
divisions, operating at the thrilling intersection of jazz, classical
repertoire, and experimental practices.
From winning the International Jazz Piano Competition in Moscow to his
radical lo-fi classical reinterpretations (Die Kunst Der Fuge) and his
famous Jazz Band Młynarski-Masecki project, Masecki’s virtuosic piano
compositions promise a masterclass in musical boundary-pushing.
3. Warsaw Village Band
The takeover concludes with a headline performance by the legendary,
internationally acclaimed 8-piece world music ensemble. Formed in 1997, the
band (Kapela ze Wsi Warszawa) has spent nearly three decades crafting a
powerful sonic language rooted in Polish traditional folk music, historical
instruments, and avant-garde, spacious improvisational jams.
Winners of the BBC Radio 3 Award for World Music, Fryderyk Awards, and past
Grammy nominees, their groundbreaking albums like Infinity and NORD have
topped global charts. They represent the absolute pinnacle of traditional
music meeting contemporary innovation.
