  • Legacy of Polish Music Abroad at Three Glances
    LEGACY OF POLISH MUSIC ABROAD AT THREE GLANCES PRESENTED BY ARTISTIC FOUNDATION CONCENTUS PRO ARTE , POLISH LANDSCAPES October 2, 2018 | 8 PM Joanna Okoń Katarzyna Glensk ,‚ LANDOWSKA IN MEMORIAM October 3, 2018 | 8 PM Władysław Kłosiewicz ,,‚ LOVE WILL FOREGIVE YOU ANYTHING October 4, 2018 | 8 PM Kuba Stankiewicz American Trio MARKING 100 YEARS OF POLISH INDEPENDENCE The goal of the INVITATION Festival is to showcase the music of forgotten artists associated with Poland from the first half of the twentieth century, in all its diversity and richness. Three insights into the Polish musical life of this period allow us to become aware of the role and importance of Polish heritage in the field of „contemporary” music, in the researching and popularizing of „old music”, and the discerning of Jazz as the „music of the future”. The name of the project is taken from the Jazz composition by Bronisław Kaper of the same title. Bronisław Kaper, along with Henryk Wars and Victor Young (a Jazz protégé, a graduate of the Warsaw Conservatory of Music, and a legendary composer of standards), all of whom are artists whose works are performed by some of the world’s greatest jazz musicians. However, in popular perception, these Jazz artists are rarely associated with Poland. Instead, they are simply linked with really smart Jazz standards. Meanwhile, this beautiful music is not only a part of Polish culture, but a source of inspiration for future generations: the basis for artistic exploration; and a Polish contribution to the world’s cultural heritage. There are more examples, such as the fine compositions for violin and piano of little-known Polish composers from the first decades of the 20th century; largely forgotten names such as Godowski, Poldowski, Achron, Mistowski, Adamowski, Niemczyk and Weinberg - lost pearls of chamber music.

Standing in the midst of ballet’s frenetic efforts to diversify, we see that even as DTH was proving the veracity of black ballet talent, this was not an incentive for white directors to hire them into their companies. It actually had PRESENTS $25,000+ quite the opposite effect, with DTH becoming the default, or catch all.
