Concert of improvised music

  • Concert of improvised music

A concert of improvised music accompanying the exhibition “Maria Bartuszová. Provisional Forms” and Warsaw Week for Culture Without Barriers.

As part of the programme that accompanies the exhibition “Maria Bartuszová. Provisional Forms", a series of musical improvisations has been prepared by Katarzyna Tekielska and guest musicians. This method of guiding around an exhibition is another way to explain its contents and dynamics, whereas vocal and instrumental improvisations seek to embed themselves between seeing, hearing, sensing and a verbal description. Owing to the use of such instruments as cello and bass guitar, the workshops are available to aurally impaired persons.
 

Improvisations performed by Katarzyna Tekielska (vocal, alto) and guest musicians:

Dominika Jarosz – vocal, flute
Dave Killoran – guitar
Anna Machnowska – vocal, bassoon
Patryk Tik Tak Matela - beatbox
Filip Szumowski - bass guitar
Aleksandra Górska-Tarłowska – cello
