For the first time, concerts will be held \u00a0not only in Warsaw but also in other Polish cities: Cracow, Lus\u0142awice, Lublin, Katowice and D\u0119bica. Also for the first time, the festival programme includes concert versions of operas, featuring the premiere of Krzysztof Penderecki\u2019s <em>The Black Mask<\/em> at the Teatr Wielki \u2013 Polish National Opera. The official opening of the Eufonie Festival will take place on the same stage with the participation of world-famous mezzo-soprano El\u012bna Garan\u010da. It will be her first performance in Warsaw. Other stars \u2013 both Polish and of international acclaim \u2013 have also accepted our invitation to participate in the festival. From 2 November to mid-December 2024, we invite you on a musical journey through our European region and through Poland. Artists from Lithuania, Latvia, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Armenia, England, France, Germany, the USA and Switzerland will be our guides during this year\u2019s musical expeditions. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Diversity and richness of repertoire remain a characteristic feature of Eufonie. As always, the festival offers a varied range of works combining the past with the present and proves that historical musical traditions can still inspire contemporary artists. The repertoire of this year\u2019s edition is also a dialogue between tradition and modernity, which is an emanation of musical ideas overlapping over the centuries.<strong> The National Centre for Culture Poland, the festival organiser, thus tries to attract to concert halls both classical music lovers and enthusiasts of new sounds, younger audiences looking for alternative sounds in music. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s festival repertoire is divided into<strong> three main sections: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Altersounds <\/strong>(Skalpel, Dobrawa Czocher &amp; Guests, Gurdjieff Ensemble, Kwartludium &amp; Jacaszek, Operomanija, La Temp\u0207te);<\/li>\n<li><strong>Masterpieces <\/strong>(El\u012bna Garan\u010da, <em>Heroines of Polish Music<\/em>, jubilees of Joanna Wnuk-Nazarowa and Pawe\u0142 Szyma\u0144ski, works by Karol Szymanowski, Krzysztof Penderecki, Pawe\u0142 Mykietyn);<\/li>\n<li><strong>Music of the Past <\/strong>(<em>Venceslao, re di Polonia<\/em> by Antonio Caldara performed by {Oh!} Orkiestra and soloists, performances by The Sixteen, Marti &amp; Gondko, Solamente Naturali, Bastarda).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><br \/>This year\u2019s Eufonie have been enriched with an introduction. The June <em>Eufonie \u2013 Prelude<\/em> concert, with the participation of Adam Strug and the Monodia Polska ensemble, will have a surprising, premiere continuation in November. This will be a performance by the <strong>Skalpel <\/strong>duo, who, on a special festival commission, will present their own original interpretation of the pieces performed by Strug and Monodia Polska in June (which were recorded at that time). The <em>Prelude<\/em> can also be considered a preview of the diverse programme \u2013 it includes <strong>music of the Middle Ages, Renaissance and Baroque <\/strong>in the interpretation of such outstanding artists as <strong>Bastarda, The Sixteen, Corina Marti and Micha\u0142 Gondko and the Solamente Naturali ensemble.<\/strong> In September, the second event preceding the festival took place: <strong><em>Eufonie \u2013 Prologue: Kochanowski Wika \/ Strug \/ Monodia Polska<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Other special festival commissions were entrusted to: <strong>Dobrawa Czocher<\/strong>, who will perform the world premiere of works inspired by Johann Sebastian Bach\u2019s cello suites and the <strong>Bastarda <\/strong>ensemble, which \u00a0will present songs from Valentin Triller\u2019s <em>Silesian Songbook<\/em>. The concert of the <strong>Kwartludium <\/strong>ensemble featuring<strong> Micha\u0142 Jacaszek <\/strong>will also be an extremely interesting event. The artists will present sounds inspired by the rich tradition of ancient Colchis.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The inspirations that permeate this year\u2019s Eufonie programme extend far beyond Central and Eastern Europe. On our musical journey, we travel to the sources of Latin and Arabic culture, to the Middle East. One of the examples of such an expedition will be the <strong>performance of the Gurdjieff Ensemble<\/strong>, abounding in Armenian tradition and the spirit of the Orient. In turn, during the symphonic concert <em>Night Fairy Tales<\/em>, with the participation of <strong>Iwona Sobotka and the Choir and Orchestra of the Warsaw Philharmonic <\/strong>conducted by Micha\u0142 Klauza, we will hear <em>Songs of a Fairy-Tale Princess<\/em>, Op. 31 and <em>Song of the Night<\/em>, Op. 27 by Karol Szymanowski, but also the expressive <em>Dance of the Seven Veils<\/em> from Richard Strauss\u2019s opera <em>Salome<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The festival has been accompanied by <strong>Krzysztof Penderecki<\/strong>\u2019s works since its first edition.

This piece will take us symbolically to Jerusalem, the cradle of three religions. We invite the festival audience to the concerts in three Polish cities: Warsaw, Cracow, and D\u0119bica.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The festival will also feature <strong>Pawe\u0142 Mykietyn\u2019s <\/strong>\u00a0<strong><em>St Mark\u2019s Passion<\/em> <\/strong>\u2013 a piece that fits into the great tradition, but also made revolutionary changes in the understanding of the genre. The festival programme also includes <strong>three operas<\/strong>, each of which shows a different facet of the genre. We will hear the <strong>18<sup>th<\/sup>-century opera <em>Venceslao, re di Polonia<\/em> by Antonio Caldara<\/strong>, inspired by the history of Ladislaus IV of Poland, <strong><em>The Black Mask<\/em> by Krzysztof Penderecki<\/strong>, based on the work by Gerhart Hauptman, and the contemporary, unconventional opera <strong><em>Have a good day!<\/em><\/strong>, touching on the existential problems of women with a migrant background, working below their qualifications, in a supermarket.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">During the Eufonie Festival, we will also celebrate the <strong>jubilees <\/strong>of prominent Polish composers: <strong>Joanna Wnuk-Nazarowa and Pawe\u0142 Szyma\u0144ski<\/strong>. The Jubilee of Wnuk-Nazarowa, titled <em>Heroines of Polish Music<\/em>, will become a pretext for delving deeper into the output of female composers, from <strong>Gra\u017cyna Bacewicz<\/strong> to <strong>Hanna Kulenty<\/strong>, whose <em>M\u00e9moire de M\u00e9moire<\/em> will be performed in Poland for the first time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The festival complements the Polish concert repertoire with pieces that are either unknown or rarely performed in Poland. Central and Eastern Europe, to whose musical traditions the organisers refer, is an extremely interesting and musically inspiring region. From a cultural melting pot full of inspiration, diversity flowing from the experiences of each of these countries and places, a unique story about us and our region emerges.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">As every year, the festival is held under the honorary patronage of the ambassadors of the countries of the region, while the festival itself supports the policy of the Eastern Partnership and is an important tool of Polish cultural diplomacy.

This year\u2019s festival features masterpieces, early and contemporary music, experiments, transformations and modern interpretations. For the first time, concerts will be held \u00a0not only in Warsaw but also in other Polish cities: Cracow, Lus\u0142awice, Lublin, Katowice and D\u0119bica. Also for the first time, the festival programme includes concert versions of operas, featuring the premiere of Krzysztof Penderecki\u2019s The Black Mask at the Teatr Wielki \u2013 Polish National Opera. The official opening of the Eufonie Festival will take place on the same stage with the participation of world-famous mezzo-soprano El\u012bna Garan\u010da. It will be her first performance in Warsaw. Other stars \u2013 both Polish and of international acclaim \u2013 have also accepted our invitation to participate in the festival. From 2 November to mid-December 2024, we invite you on a musical journey through our European region and through Poland. Artists from Lithuania, Latvia, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Armenia, England, France, Germany, the USA and Switzerland will be our guides during this year\u2019s musical expeditions. \nDiversity and richness of repertoire remain a characteristic feature of Eufonie. As always, the festival offers a varied range of works combining the past with the present and proves that historical musical traditions can still inspire contemporary artists. The repertoire of this year\u2019s edition is also a dialogue between tradition and modernity, which is an emanation of musical ideas overlapping over the centuries. The National Centre for Culture Poland, the festival organiser, thus tries to attract to concert halls both classical music lovers and enthusiasts of new sounds, younger audiences looking for alternative sounds in music. \n\u00a0\nThis year\u2019s festival repertoire is divided into three main sections: \nAltersounds (Skalpel, Dobrawa Czocher &amp; Guests, Gurdjieff Ensemble, Kwartludium &amp; Jacaszek, Operomanija, La Temp\u0207te);\nMasterpieces (El\u012bna Garan\u010da, Heroines of Polish Music, jubilees of Joanna Wnuk-Nazarowa and Pawe\u0142 Szyma\u0144ski, works by Karol Szymanowski, Krzysztof Penderecki, Pawe\u0142 Mykietyn);\nMusic of the Past (Venceslao, re di Polonia by Antonio Caldara performed by {Oh!} Orkiestra and soloists, performances by The Sixteen, Marti &amp; Gondko, Solamente Naturali, Bastarda).\nThis year\u2019s Eufonie have been enriched with an introduction. The June Eufonie \u2013 Prelude concert, with the participation of Adam Strug and the Monodia Polska ensemble, will have a surprising, premiere continuation in November. This will be a performance by the Skalpel duo, who, on a special festival commission, will present their own original interpretation of the pieces performed by Strug and Monodia Polska in June (which were recorded at that time). The Prelude can also be considered a preview of the diverse programme \u2013 it includes music of the Middle Ages, Renaissance and Baroque in the interpretation of such outstanding artists as Bastarda, The Sixteen, Corina Marti and Micha\u0142 Gondko and the Solamente Naturali ensemble. In September, the second event preceding the festival took place: Eufonie \u2013 Prologue: Kochanowski Wika \/ Strug \/ Monodia Polska.\nOther special festival commissions were entrusted to: Dobrawa Czocher, who will perform the world premiere of works inspired by Johann Sebastian Bach\u2019s cello suites and the Bastarda ensemble, which \u00a0will present songs from Valentin Triller\u2019s Silesian Songbook. The concert of the Kwartludium ensemble featuring Micha\u0142 Jacaszek will also be an extremely interesting event. The artists will present sounds inspired by the rich tradition of ancient Colchis.\nThe inspirations that permeate this year\u2019s Eufonie programme extend far beyond Central and Eastern Europe. On our musical journey, we travel to the sources of Latin and Arabic culture, to the Middle East. One of the examples of such an expedition will be the performance of the Gurdjieff Ensemble, abounding in Armenian tradition and the spirit of the Orient. In turn, during the symphonic concert Night Fairy Tales, with the participation of Iwona Sobotka and the Choir and Orchestra of the Warsaw Philharmonic conducted by Micha\u0142 Klauza, we will hear Songs of a Fairy-Tale Princess, Op. 31 and Song of the Night, Op. 27 by Karol Szymanowski, but also the expressive Dance of the Seven Veils from Richard Strauss\u2019s opera Salome.\nThe festival has been accompanied by Krzysztof Penderecki\u2019s works since its first edition. This year it will be a performance of Seven Gates of Jerusalem in the interpretation of the Orchestra and Choir of the Karol Szymanowski Philharmonic in Cracow, the Polish Radio Choir and excellent soloists: Iwona Hossa, Karolina Sikora, Anna Luba\u0144ska, Rafa\u0142 Bartmi\u0144ski, Artur Janda and the narrator, S\u0142awomir Holland. This piece will take us symbolically to Jerusalem, the cradle of three religions. We invite the festival audience to the concerts in three Polish cities: Warsaw, Cracow, and D\u0119bica.\nThe festival will also feature Pawe\u0142 Mykietyn\u2019s \u00a0St Mark\u2019s Passion \u2013 a piece that fits into the great tradition, but also made revolutionary changes in the understanding of the genre. The festival programme also includes three operas, each of which shows a different facet of the genre. We will hear the 18th-century opera Venceslao, re di Polonia by Antonio Caldara, inspired by the history of Ladislaus IV of Poland, The Black Mask by Krzysztof Penderecki, based on the work by Gerhart Hauptman, and the contemporary, unconventional opera Have a good day!, touching on the existential problems of women with a migrant background, working below their qualifications, in a supermarket.\nDuring the Eufonie Festival, we will also celebrate the jubilees of prominent Polish composers: Joanna Wnuk-Nazarowa and Pawe\u0142 Szyma\u0144ski. The Jubilee of Wnuk-Nazarowa, titled Heroines of Polish Music, will become a pretext for delving deeper into the output of female composers, from Gra\u017cyna Bacewicz to Hanna Kulenty, whose M\u00e9moire de M\u00e9moire will be performed in Poland for the first time.\nThe festival complements the Polish concert repertoire with pieces that are either unknown or rarely performed in Poland. Central and Eastern Europe, to whose musical traditions the organisers refer, is an extremely interesting and musically inspiring region. From a cultural melting pot full of inspiration, diversity flowing from the experiences of each of these countries and places, a unique story about us and our region emerges.\nAs every year, the festival is held under the honorary patronage of the ambassadors of the countries of the region, while the festival itself supports the policy of the Eastern Partnership and is an important tool of Polish cultural diplomacy. Moreover, the festival implements the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.\nThis year, the Eufonie Festival is partnered by: Warsaw Philharmonic, Teatr Wielki \u2013 Polish National Opera, Ars Cameralis, Krzysztof Penderecki European Centre for Music in Lus\u0142awice, CODES Festival of Traditional and Avant-garde Music in Lublin, Nowy Teatr in Warsaw, PWM Edition Polish Music Publishing House (PWM), Warsaw Autumn (International Festival of Contemporary Music), Cracow Philharmonic, Adam Mickiewicz Institute. Selected concerts will be (re)broadcast by Polish Radio, which is a member of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU)."},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"pl-PL","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/wien\/2024\/10\/10\/eufonie-2024-echoes-aftersoundsmusical-journey-through-central-and-eastern-europe\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/wien\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/Eufonie_e24_800x600_EN.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/wien\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/Eufonie_e24_800x600_EN.jpg","width":800,"height":600},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/wien\/2024\/10\/10\/eufonie-2024-echoes-aftersoundsmusical-journey-through-central-and-eastern-europe\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/wien\/pl\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"EUFONIE 2024.
