GUEST FROM POLAND: PROF. HABIL DR WOJCIECH WIDŁAK

 

The guest of the LMTA is one of the most prominent Polish composers, Professor Wojciech Widłak, habilitated doctor, who has trained an impressive group of students, many of whom (including a few Lithuanians) have already become renowned composers. Widłak’s work follows in the tradition of legendary Polish composers Krzysztof Penderecki, Marek Stachowski and Krystyna Moszumańska-Nazar. His works representing the famous Cracow school of composition have been performed at new music festivals in Denmark, Sweden, Italy, Germany, the UK, France, Russia, the Czech Republic, Azerbaijan, Slovakia, Macedonia, Belarus, the USA, Japan and other countries. The premiere of W. Widłak’s newest work, Concerto for Cello and Symphony Orchestra, will take place on 25 October. The concert will take place on the 25th of October at the Philharmonic Hall in Częstochowa, Poland. The composer’s field of artistic ideas, revealing his individual approach to contemporary music and compositional strategies, is summarised in his distinctive system of “swivel harmony”.

 

The events are curated by Rytis Mažulis, professor at the Department of Composition of the LMTA.
