ANGELS OF PEACE
July 9, 2022 Solidarny Dom Kultury “Słonecznik”, Museum at Pańska, ul. Pańska 3
17:00 – voice improvisation workshop with Lilianna Krych
*FREE ADMISSION
Using the method of conducted improvisation by Butch Morris (“Conduction”) and fragments of the composition “Angels of Peace” by Wojciech Błażejczyk, we will build a miniature improvisation for voices, body percussion and any instruments.
18:00 – concert
*FREE ADMISSION
We will perform a closing concert whose compositions will introduce us to the core of current conflicts: geopolitical, identity and ecological. “Seamy Side” by Ukrainian composer Katarina Gryvul is music of geopolitical tension, the subject of “Angels of Peace” by Wojciech Błażejczyk is the horror of the war in Donbas ongoing for 8 years, “Sea of Prism” by Rafał Ryterski is a lullaby for a dead Baltic Sea showing the devastating conflict between humans and nature, “Blanc sur Blanc” by Israeli composer Ofer Pelz interprets a cycle of violence in contemporary societies, and “Five Daily Miniatures” by Olga Neuwirth uses poetry by Gertrude Stein and touches upon everyday “choices of memory”, particularly poignant in the age of information warfare.
