„Przestworza” (ang. The Expanses) – this title came to mind almost instantly, because in my imagination, I saw the very space I’ve been searching for. But before that, the most important element came first – People – the dream ensemble. We managed to invite artists whose playing and musical ethos embody everything I believe in and constantly long for. I await what kind of equation the music will write for this unique human and artistic configuration. And I know – my intuition tells me, as strongly as my need for freedom – that this will be unlike anything that has ever happened before. Anna Maria Jopek
We will hear an original blend of repertoire, style, and sensitivity – music that defies easy classification. As a starting point, Jopek chose themes that seem to cancel each other out: contemporary pop songs, seventeenth-century sacred motifs, ancient folk tunes, and her own new compositions. The entire programme was adapted, recomposed, and arranged by Piotr Wojtasik. The music of Przestworza, rich and expansive, leaves a wide open space for vibrant, unrestricted jazz improvisation.
Performers in Przestworza: Anna Maria Jopek · Piotr Wojtasik · Dominik Wania · Maciej Sikała · Piotr Nazaruk · Robert Kubiszyn · Paweł Dobrowolski · Atom String Quartet
