AUKSO x Marcin Masecki - NOSPR

We won't judge – going to this concert, do you want to listen to Mozart or Masecki more? 

Marcin Masecki is well-known to audiences of many musical genres. He owes his popularity to such projects as Jazz Band Młynarski-Masecki or his collaboration with the majority of artists on the Polish jazz and pop scene, including Tomasz Stańko, Michał Urbaniak, Wojciech Waglewski, or Reni Jusis.  

The artist regularly surprises audiences with further experiments that are head-turning for some and a delight for others. At a recent concert for the Polish Radio Orchestra's season finale, Masecki was to perform Beethoven's Fifth Piano Concerto. Asked just before he went on stage whether he intended to play 'normally or his way', he replied that this remains to be seen.  

Is there a place for jazz improvisations in Mozart concertos? Will Marcin Masecki make another joke this time and, to everyone's surprise, play by the book? Looking only at the event programme, it is not entirely clear what to expect. This is a concert you have to attend! 

Szymon Maliszewski

Concert duration: approximately 80 minutes
