Zagajewski in Music – ‘Where the Breath is’
Tangos and more music for strings quartet!
Kl. 14.00 – 14.30: Artist talk
kl. 15.00 – ca. 16.15: Concert
The Argentinian composer #PabloOrtiz has set a number of poems by Nobel Prize nominated Polish author #AdamZagajewski. The internationally renowned author will join us for the world premiere of ‘Where the Breath is’ by invitation of the Polish Embassy in Denmark.
Composer Pablo Ortiz grew up with the tango as part of his DNA. He now teaches composition at UC Davis in California, but Argentinian traditional music remains a deep source of inspiration.
