What next for us? In response to this question, the Gaudeamus Festival, Warsaw Autumn, New Music Dublin, and Transit Festival are joining forces to connect a new promising young generation of interdisciplinary composers to the Belgian Nadar Ensemble. There will be no shortage of non-sound, object-based, and installation-based activities, including a real-time connection with a composer–runner (Paul Scully) on his way to the concert venue. Will he make it on time? Will humanity also manage to avoid disaster?
The event prepared as part of the Nadar Summer School on August 25–30, 2025 in cooperation between Warsaw Autumn, Gaudeamus Festival, New Music Dublin/Contemporary Music Centre Ireland and Transit Festival 20.21 Leuven.
Concert organised with the support of the Adam Mickiewicz Institute.
Coorganiser of the concert: Nowa Miodowa – Concert Hall of the Complex of State Music Schools no. 1 in Warsaw.
