Spółdzielnia Muzyczna: Interactions (2025)

One word: Complex. Also inaccessible, elitist and hard to understand. And that is not all that can be said. What about a different point of view? How about getting intrigued, learning more, understanding and... liking it? This idea led Spółdzielnia Muzyczna, an ensemble balancing between the 20th-century classics and audio experiments, has prepared the Interakcje (Interactions) series - a way to enter the seemingly alien world of new music. “During our Interactions, we freely explore the territories of 20th-century music, break free from its traditional understanding, delve into electronic and ambient sounds, confront textual and visual materials and search for new identities in the chaotic present,” claim the artists.Interactions #1 22 February, 7pm (National Museum in Krakow, Main Building)Piotr Peszat – Untitled folder #4 Piotr Peszat – Real life proof Daniel Glaus – «співай проти ночі, яка заступає» (Sing against the breaking night) Performers: Christina Daletska – mezzosoprano | Spółdzielnia Muzyczna Contemporary Ensemble Interactions #2 / Playground 14 March, 7pm (Cricoteka)Adrianna Kubica-Cypek – Sacred Noise Eneko Lacalle Berasategi – Fremdsprache Eloain Lovis Hübner – New Piece Paweł Malinowski – [title unknown] Performers: Spółdzielnia Muzyczna Contemporary EnsembleInteractions #3 3 April (Radio Kraków)Interactions #4 15 May (Radio Kraków)Interactions #5 12 June (Alchemia)Alex Paxton - Spit Crystal Yeast-rack, dripping in Orange Anthony Braxton - Composition 136Interactions #6 17 September, 7pm (Cricoteka) Inauguration of the 2025/2026 artistic season Anna Sowa Nach dem Foto feiern wir weiter!
