MUZYKA NOWA
An Online Festival of Polish New Music at WQXR's Q2 Music Radio

Q2 Music Radio

Inspired by the outpouring of local and international attention around the recent one-year anniversary of Henryk Mikolaj Gorecki's passing, Q2 Music, WQXR's online station for contemporary classical music, offers an in-depth exploration of Polish contemporary music. The festival will range from 20th Century greats Lutoslawski, Penderecki and Gorecki, to lesser-known and emerging Polish composers such as Krzysztof Wolek, Agata Zubel and Aleksander Nowak.

Festival highlights include:
An audio stream of In Memoriam Henryk Mikolaj Gorecki recorded at (Le) Poisson Rouge in New York City in November, 2011 in front of a sold-out audience (the concert was co-presented by the Polish Cultural Institute New York)

Two full-day, 24-hour marathons of contemporary classical Polish music during the week

Polish-born, New York City-based composer Jakub Ciupinski plays D.J., exploring the breadth of Polish contemporary music

An interview with Henryk Mikolaj Gorecki's son, the Texas-based composer Mikolaj Gorecki

Highlights from Warsaw Autumn Festival and UNSOUND Krakow, as well as UNSOUND New York and Focus! Festival, both presented in collaboration with the Polish Cultural Institute New York


Muzyka Nowa is presented by Q2 Music in association with the Polish Cultural Institute New York."
