About the concert:
The premiere concert of the album “Ludzie z Vełny and the Death of a Poet”, held during the “Nowa Muzyka” Contemporary Music Festival, is the culmination of a collaborative project involving five composers from various academic centers: Warsaw, Katowice, Wrocław, Łódź, and Bydgoszcz. These composers created commissioned graphic scores specifically for the ensemble, which the artists then freely interpreted and recorded for their debut album.
