The concert of works for trombone and piano is a real treat for music lovers, as it is a composition not often performed on concert stages. The recital, prepared by two brothers: trombonist Jarosław Meisner and pianist Mateusz Meisner, will be filled entirely with music by local artists (in accordance with the Polish Music Scene programme). The trombone is an instrument that is an essential part of every brass and symphony orchestra. However, it is rarely heard in solo works. - and it has much to offer. Its velvety sound, its tunefulness and expressive qualities, as well as its purely technical, brilliant virtuosity - all these qualities can be followed in the pieces prepared for today's concert. The romantic and twentieth-century compositions selected by the artists reveal the various faces of the trombone, as well as the little-known pages of Polish music. For while Kazimierz Serocki, Zygmunt Stojowski or Józef Nowakowski sometimes appear in the repertoire known to seasoned music lovers, compositions by Szymon Laks, Witold Friemann or Adam Mitschy are still largely a blank on the map of 20th-century Polish music. Fortunately, performers are increasingly turning to these less recognised works. This is also the case here.
