Orchestra, soloists, electronics, film and various aspects of spatiality. In Ewa Trębacz’s piece, space is expanded thanks to the oldest texts created by man, and the dimensions of music in ambisonic sound projection. From queer joy (Sara Glojnarić) to music for a silent film exploring the grotesque dimension of excess, social inequality and the objectification of women (Zosha di Castri). From lament and protest against the systemic injustice spreading throughout the world (Idin Samimi Mofakham) to another musical reference to “transparency”—the slow seeping of light from somewhere outside us (Wojtek Blecharz). There is a finale, and in it there is hope.
Co-organiser of the concert: Warsaw Philharmonic
The work "Lament for Ur. Assemblages from the city that is no more" by Ewa Trębacz has been cofinanced by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage’s Culture Promotion Fund, within the Composing Commissions programme, implemented by the National Institute of Music and Dance.
