This May I am joining Hashtag Ensemble from Warsaw to perform at KODY, the 11. FESTIVAL OF TRADITIONAL AND AVANTGARDE MUSIC in Lublin, Poland.
The event is called #EchoChamber and it is designed as a simultaneous concert of three comissioned works, with further video projections.
Time: May 9 / Thursday / 20:00
Place: The Centre for Culture in Lublin
(Main Auditorium / Underground / Black Hall)
Hashtag Ensemble – a music cooperative specializing in the performance of contemporary music, improvisation and artistic education – will join the previously announced artists of the festival. The group consists of Polish musicians of the young generation: composers, vocalists, instrumentalists and conductor Lilianna Krych.
Hashtag Ensemble #EchoChamber is a music interpretation of the phenomenon having a music-related name. The project would feature young composers: Jagoda Szmytka, Nina Fukoka, and Artur Zagajewski. However, the change of program occured, and instead of Szmytka’s work we will perform a conceptual piece by Jennifer Walshe.
#EchoChamber will address migration – a topic stirring strong emotions and extreme opinions in the web. The group will offer personal migration experience to each listener, who will be faced with their own past choices and with the loss of other points of hearing.
