14.03.2025, 11th Festival of Premieres, NOSPR Concert Hall, Katowice, Poland

Performers

Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra

Michał Klauza conductor

Composed in 1964 as a graduation composition for Zygmunt Krauze under Prof. Kazimierz Sikorski at the Warsaw Academy of Music. To date, it has never been performed.

Press coverage after the premiere:

“And this year’s role model – Zygmunt Krauze’s Three Unistic Compositions from the opening concert, a kind of study in combining colours. Out of 30 wind instruments on stage, sometimes only one played a single sound and there was something avant-garde about it.”

Krzysztof Stefański, Ruch Muzyczny

“Krauze is for me a musical individuality one in a thousand. In his graduation piece you can hear homogeneous strands like spotlights: this passing through different instruments, this in a whole group, this solo – nobody writes like that!”

Łucja Siedlik, Ruch Muzyczny
