Kamil Miszewski - percussion

Jan Wierzbicki - double bass

Grzegorz Rogala - trombone

 

Traditionally joining the global initiative "Bach in the Subways", the 11th International Marco Scacchi Early Music Festival invites you to a concert of early music and jazz in an unconventional space - the Europa Shopping Centre.

 

P.G.R. is a jazz project that fuses cultures and musical genres. The creative idea is a dialogue between Polish, Jewish and classical music.

 

The programme of this concert will take us back to the Renaissance and the Republic of the Two Nations. It will feature melodies composed by Mikołaj Gomółka for Jan Kochanowski's Psalter of David published in 1579. Renaissance melodies and old texts became both an inspiration and a challenge for P.G.R. artists.

 

The concert partner is the Polish Institute in Vilnius.

 

The event is free of charge.
