The 'Żelazowa Wola Summer Jazz Stage' series, inaugurated with a concert by Adam Makowicz and Leszek Możdżer, will return on 16 August! This time, we will see a performance by Kuba Wiecek as part of the artist's 'hoshii' project.

The versatility and outstanding talent of the young jazz saxophonist and composer Kuba Wiecek perfectly describes the title of his second original album, Multitasking. The number of various projects which the musician is conducting simultaneously, has already completed or is planning is impressive. The rapid development of his career and the growing recognition of his art are attested to by, among other things, his first album Another Raindrop, released in the legendary Polish Jazz series when he was only 23 years old, his two subsequent albums, his nomination in 2020 by the world's most important jazz magazine Down Beat to the group of 25 musicians who will have an influence on the further development of jazz, and finally - the 'Polityka' Passport awarded to him this year. He collaborates with the top of Polish jazz, but also with hip-hop artists and young alternative Polish pop-rock. In addition, with Piotr Orzechowski he recorded his own interpretations of Wojciech Kilar's music to Francis Coppola's Dracula and an album with the Młynarski/Masecki jazz band.

His new, multi-media, artistically open series 'hoshii' (Japanese for 'desire'), realised with the participation of many guests, has recently reached its second full-length album. The artist will present the latest instalment of the project on 16 August in Żelazowa Wola at a concert in the 'Summer Jazz Stage' series organised by the Fryderyk Chopin Institute. Wiecek's band, comprising Maksymilian Mucha - bass guitar, Miłosz Berdzik - drums, and Grzegorz Tarwid - piano, will present their own readings of Chopin's music woven into the compositions from the 'hoshii' project in the unique setting of the 'Stage under the Willow tree'. We can be sure that it will be an extraordinary and unique evening.
