Sepia Ensemble Contemporary MusiciansAbout
We launch our musical journey with String Quartet no.1 by Krzysztof Penderecki, composed at the threshold of his artistic career, which is a manifestation of sonorism in music. This technique is also referred to by the piece Rocking Music by Ewa Fabiańska-Jelińska, composed almost 60 years later, influenced by, among others, rock music. The ensemble is varied and also includes brass instruments.
The composition Donsu Dances by Japanese creator Atsuko Ezaki is also written for a diverse ensemble. The author suggested the piece's programme idea in the title of the work: sophisticated, traditional Japanese fabric, which translates into the musical tissue of the work.
Swedish composer Lars Carlsson (Vindarna växlar, or ‘change of wind’) and Marcel Chyrzyński (Betelgeuse, name of a star) revealed their inspiration with natural phenomena, more and more often present in contemporary music. Artur Kroschel described his trio for clarinet, piano and cello as Gestures, as if referring to the language of symbols, non-verbal communication, in which music expresses itself best. Rafał Zapała stayed with an unconstrained form of Scherzo, in which six instruments hold a dialogue, each of them fully expressing its sonic individuality.
All pieces are performed by Sepia Ensemble Contemporary Musicians, one of the few and leading contemporary music ensembles in Poland.
