This time “in Poland, i.e. in the centre.” What do we find from our perspective in the music of “wandering artists” whose personal experiences are marked by cultural displacement? The programme concept of Ensemble Modern and Warsaw Autumn, with special musical commissions for this occasion. Special thanks to the Adam Mickiewicz Institute for its involvement in the creation of these new works.
