Piosenniczek

A song as a nap! Just imag­ine: we half-close our eyes, prick up our ears and drift into micro-dreams: about a cocoon, about a lit­tle shell, about Lit­tle Red Rid­ing Hood and the Wolf who purrs sweet­ly “Hel­looooo, lit­tle giiiirl.”

Micro-dreams: lul­la­by ones and lit­er­ary ones, the musi­cal-the­atre kind and the play­ful kind — ones where it will be nice to stamp our feet and wake our bod­ies from their slum­ber. They will be pre­ced­ed by son­ic rid­dles that will stir our imag­i­na­tions and tune us into the con­cert’s audios­phere. Piosen­niczek will scat­ter the last rem­nants of win­ter dreams until we feel thor­ough­ly, thor­ough­ly spring-like. The con­cert pro­gramme includes works by the duos: Jerzy Ficows­ki and Władysław Sław­ińs­ki, Stanisław Szy­dłows­ki and Jerzy Wasows­ki, Julian Tuwim and Jarek Kor­daczuk, Anna Kierkosz and Agniesz­ka Wid­larz. The colour­ful voic­es of Hash­tag Ensem­ble sing — Mar­ta Grzywacz and Maciej Nerkowski.

Before and after the con­certs, par­ents and car­ers with chil­dren are invit­ed to enjoy treats at our café. The café is open from 9:00 to 14:00.

About the series: ĄsąBąble are per­for­ma­tive con­certs fea­tur­ing new music for fam­i­lies with chil­dren aged 0–7. Each is built around an orig­i­nal script in which lis­ten­ing to music, inter­ac­tive play and edu­ca­tion­al val­ue are equal­ly impor­tant. In a space that is wel­com­ing to the very young, one can lis­ten to music by lead­ing con­tem­po­rary com­posers in ver­sions and pro­por­tions cal­i­brat­ed for small ears. The the­atri­cal for­mat of the con­certs pro­motes con­cen­tra­tion and allows the sounds to cast their spell, while the invi­ta­tion to join in shared impro­vi­sa­tions releas­es the nat­ur­al expres­sive impulse of young peo­ple. In the spir­it of Janusz Kor­cza­k’s words “There are no chil­dren, only peo­ple,” all par­tic­i­pants are treat­ed with respect and have a stake in how the event unfolds. The series presents exclu­sive­ly music of the 20th and 21st cen­turies. A per­ma­nent ele­ment is the pre­sen­ta­tion of a record­ing of a sym­phon­ic work or a work from the field of sound design and electronics.

Although each edi­tion of ĄsąBąble takes a musi­cal fab­ric as its start­ing point, it is also rich in non-musi­cal con­texts close to Hash­tag Ensem­ble’s prac­tice: lit­er­ary, visu­al, social. The events are inter­dis­ci­pli­nary in char­ac­ter: invit­ed artists who have long worked in close prox­im­i­ty to chil­dren’s imag­i­na­tion also take part — dancers, per­form­ers, illus­tra­tors and writ­ers. The­atre is the nat­ur­al ter­rain of new music, which is why actor train­ing for musi­cians is also part of the edu­ca­tion­al char­ac­ter of the ĄsąBąble series.

The cura­tor and host of the series is Anna Sza­w­iel — an actor and nar­ra­tor who spe­cialis­es in inter­dis­ci­pli­nary cul­tur­al and edu­ca­tion­al events. She likes to work on bor­ders: between con­cert and per­for­mance, edu­ca­tion and play, phys­i­cal­i­ty and abstrac­tion, always in con­nec­tion with chil­dren’s imag­i­na­tion. The con­cert pro­grammes are co-cre­at­ed by the musi­cians of Hash­tag Ensemble.

The ĄsąBąble project cre­ative­ly devel­ops the con­cept of the “Smykow­iz­je” series of the “Muzy­ka jest dla wszys­t­kich” foun­da­tion, with­in which in 2016–2022 Hash­tag Ensem­ble and Anna Sza­w­iel per­formed togeth­er more than 130 con­certs and mini-per­for­mances, search­ing for the most inter­est­ing forms of pre­sent­ing new music. The con­cept and cura­tor­ship of Smykow­iz­je was the work of Anna Kierkosz. It was the first series of events in Poland addressed to the very youngest, in which con­tem­po­rary music played the lead role.

The Con­tem­po­rary Music Space Hash­tag Lab is co-financed by the Cap­i­tal City of Warsaw.
