CRAFTSMEN OF CULTURE:
The Show Must go On

Agnieszka Drotkiewicz talks to Teresa Krasnodębska

Half an hour before a premiere I paint my nails. Some elegant colour, no greens or dots. This particular activity requires me to be absolutely calm – interview with a stage manager at the National Opera in Warsaw

And We Break Down Ourselves

Joanna Roszak

Coetzee’s libretto doesn’t span the entirety of the book; together with composer Nicolas Lens, the author shifts his focus to three characters, whom director Maja Kleczewska describes as ‘suspended in lasting’ – Joanna Roszak on Coetzee and Lens’ ‘Slow Man’

The Only Thing Shocking
Left in Theatre

Alan Lockwood talks to Stephen Wadsworth

Karol Szymanowski’s ‘King Roger’ directed by Stephen Wadsworth premiered 21 July 2012 in the Santa Fe Opera

Fear of Man

Tomasz Cyz

The sound of Poppea is subtle and airy; the piece is like a fine cobweb – ‘L’incoronazione di Poppea’ directed by Krzysztof Warlikowski in Madrid

Everything in Opera Leaves a Mark

TOMASZ CYZ TALKS TO KRZYSZTOF WARLIKOWSKI

Premiering a drama production leaves me wondering what it is that I want to talk about in my next piece. Unlike the opera, which opens up a world of opportunities

Classical, Almost Popular

PIOTR TKACZ TALKS TO ROBERT PIOTROWICZ

Designing sound in complex physical forms allows us to achieve sensuality, the end result of which is parasexual in nature, and I don’t mean the artist’s idiotic erotic posturing on stage

The Three Colors of Jazz

TOMASZ HANDZLIK TALKS TO PIOTR DAMASIEWICZ

Sculptors and painters could teach musicians silence, because today’s music is dominated by chaos, and the loudness or decibel level is only getting higher, sadly – Piotr Damasiewicz

Penderecki & Greenwood
by Nonesuch Records

Tomasz Handzlik talks to Jonny Greenwood

Nonesuch Records releases an album of works by Krzysztof Penderecki and Jonny Greenwood, recorded in Alvernia Studios, on 13 March 2012

I’m not into Classification

MONIKA ROKICKA talks to CRAIG TABORN

‘Stańko has been spending a lot of time in New York. It’s something that he’s always wanted to do and he is interested in a lot of younger musicians in the New York scene,’ says pianist Craig Taborn, who recently performed alongside Stańko at the Jazz Autumn Festival in Bielsko Biała

The Turbulent Life
of Madame Curie

KLAUDIA BARANOWSKA talks to ELŻBIETA SIKORA and MAREK WEISS

‘I didn’t want Marie Curie to be that figure we all know from our school textbooks. I wanted to depict her as a real, live person and a woman at that.’ – composer Elżbieta Sikora and director Marek Weiss talk about ‘Madame Curie’

WHO’S WHO AND WHY:
Ballady i Romanse

Agnieszka Le Nart

‘Today sung poetry doesn’t have a very positive association. Perhaps that’s because it’s not the same kind of poetry that was once sung. We try to sift out the ceremonial character and pathos’ — Basia Wrońska

Sound Postcards

Mat Schulz

One of the reasons Pocztówki Dźwiękowe draws us towards them is because they are, as technological objects, even more quaint and outdated than records and CDs

International Henryk Wieniawski Violin Competition

John Biweekly

Listen to recordings from Stage 1 Auditions

Fighting the Violin

Jolanta Brózda-Wiśniewska talks to Maxim Vengerov

A competition is about establishing human contact. Otherwise it can become a very ugly event

WHO'S WHO AND WHY:
Igor Pudło a.k.a Igor Boxx

Agnieszka Le Nart

Igor Boxx is performing works off of the Breaslau album at the European Culture Congress. The DJ series at the Festival Club – Four Domes Pavilion hosts Boxx on Friday, 9 September, 2011 at 22:30
