Wrocław, 13-21.05.2011

After six years of absence Eivind Aarset returns to Poland. This time he will present his new project with Sonic Codex Orchestra, which has not been shown in our country. The guitarist talks about the evolution of his music, heavy metal influences and the freedom which comes from electronics.

His opera “Martha’s Garden” premières today at the Wrocław Opera at the festival Musica Electronica Nova and will enter the repertoire on our stage.

We are getting ready to talk and take photos. Elżbieta Chojnacka is sitting at an open harpsichord, and suddenly notices how silly she feels posing for a picture without a score. She bends down and lifts one of the pink cardboard sheets off the floor. Each one has a carefully attached score of individual compositions.

Another virtuoso recital after the concert by Elżbieta Chojnacka within the festival Musica Electronica Nova was held at the Ossolineum Auditorium.

I am a product of the 20th century. I smoke, drive a car and travel by plane. I can’t live as in baroque times – says Elżbieta Chojnacka, world famous Polish harpsichordist.
