Teoniki Rożynek & Aleksandra Słyż(PL)
With mighty thunders of euphoniums and hearty humming of horns swaying through distant skies all ablaze, the music paints a vivid saga of ancient rituals, a fiery picture of the Moon’s silver scythe struggling to reflect in seawaters. It is a tale in which the Sun’s golden spears always seem to triumph, sparkling and singing the world to live relentlessly, for all eternity.
To explore the phenomenon of the summer solstice, that is one of the two times in a year when the Sun is at the greatest distance from the equator, two Polish composers, Teoniki Rożynek and Aleksandra Słyż present And the Sun Stood Still, a work inspired by the meaning of the primal mysticisms of the Sun. In the project commissioned by Ephemera Festival a brass trio – Anna Baran, Adrian Gryciuk, Adrian Żachowski – will be invited to perform the work together with the composers at the Witold Lutosławski Concert Studio of Polish Radio in Warsaw.
