Tomasz Skweres is an active interpreter in the field of contemporary music and chamber music and cellist of the Austrian ensemble Platypus for contemporary music. Interensemble was created out of an independent entity of musical research that focused on the exploration of new ideas, unfettered by links with academia, ideology, or previous compositional and organizational strategies. Founded in 1984 by the Italian composer and pianist Bernardino Beggio, the group reflected a move towards contemporary music production that had been taking place in the preceding years at the Conservatory of Padua. The validity of this approach was immediately recognized at an international level, and resulted in the group’s first European tours. Not content to focus solely on contemporary sounds, Interensemble’s repertoire has come to include works from many of the major musical movements of the 20th and 21st centuries, from Stravinsky through Cage, Stockhausen, Berio, and Donatoni; from Glass and Reich to Nyman, Piazzolla and the new generation of composers. The group has also worked extensively in the field of electronic music and has, in fact, organized the Computer Art Festival in Padua since 1984. In his 30 years activity the Interensemble featured in more than 500 concerts, and made frequent appearances on radio and television, recording 19 CD’s for a variety of labels. Over the last three decades, the group has done numerous tours throughout Europe, Africa and Americas, with frequent visits to prestigious US Institutions such Harvard University, MIT Boston, New York University, University of Massachsetts, California State University. 1 Annachiara Gedda (Italy) Perspectives III Award of the FIDAPA for , clarinet, piano, to the best female composer violin and cello 2 Jose Luis Gómez Aleixandre (Spain) Harmonies - Dread, Darkness, Special Prize Piero Pezzé Despair......
