DESCRIPTION:The Polish Institute in Tel Aviv invites audiences to two special free
concerts of the Escape from the Shadows project, performed by violist
Aleksandra Demowska-Madejska and pianist Wojciech Pyrć.
Recognized for its contribution to uncovering forgotten chapters of Polish
musical heritage, the project emerged from extensive musicological research
aimed at locating, reconstructing, and reintroducing works that had
disappeared from concert repertoires for decades. Combining historical
research with artistic performance, the program offers a fascinating
journey into the world of composers who worked in Poland during the 19th
and 20th centuries, but whose music was pushed into obscurity by war,
migration, persecution, and the upheavals of history.
The concert program features works by Aleksander Weryk, Karol Rathaus, and
Ignacy Friedman, alongside an exceptional piece: the Sonata for Viola and
Piano by Etta Tyrmand, a Jewish composer born in Warsaw. Long considered
lost, the sonata was rediscovered and received its world-premiere recording
as part of this project.
Through music, the program explores themes of identity, memory, belonging,
and cultural continuity. Each work tells a unique human and historical
story, offering audiences a rare opportunity to discover a moving and
little-known repertoire that enriches our understanding of both Polish and
Jewish musical heritage.
