Lab / Koncert

Echoes, undertones, and distant reverberations of imagined musical realms — waves of “successive contrasts” will envelop us in the resonance of a live voice, acoustic instruments and digitally generated sounds. We invite you to experience this uncharted sonic territory at the concert. 

What remains in your mind in the moment after a sound gives way to sud­den silence? Could these be “echoes” akin to the “after­im­ages” of Władysław Strzemińs­ki? Do you also some­times almost hear the first song on a famil­iar album before its open­ing notes have even sound­ed? What music plays as you walk along a Masuri­an trail on a warm sum­mer night? Imag­ined sounds are not only an abstract con­cept of avant-garde com­posers — they are also part of our every­day life, some­thing we some­times pass by indif­fer­ent­ly. It is worth paus­ing to look more close­ly at this extra­or­di­nary, phan­tas­magoric realm to which no one else has access. It is inhab­it­ed by instru­ments, objects, and above all — famil­iar voices.

We invite you to a shared expe­ri­ence of the abun­dance of mean­ing in the sound of the human voice, whose liv­ing pres­ence binds togeth­er all the works pro­grammed in the Posłuchy con­cert. We open with Sła­womir Kupcza­k’s Kołysan­ka, which had its world pre­miere dur­ing the pan­dem­ic lock­down at the Ad Libi­tum fes­ti­val in 2020. The semi-open score invites per­form­ers to fol­low their own intu­ition and the haunt­ing sound of the vocal part.

The next work on the pro­gramme — the title piece Posłuchy — will receive its world pre­miere and was com­mis­sioned from com­pos­er Marcin Stańczyk by Hash­tag Ensem­ble with the sup­port of the Com­po­si­tion­al Com­mis­sions pro­gramme. With the guest par­tic­i­pa­tion of mez­zo-sopra­no Mag­dale­na Dep­tuła, this work draws inspi­ra­tion from Pol­ish tra­di­tion­al music and trans­forms sim­ple melodies into ephemer­al “suc­ces­sive contrasts”.


After the con­cert there will be a meet­ing with the com­pos­er, Marcin Stańczyk, host­ed by Krzysztof Ste­fańs­ki and Lil­ian­na Krych.
