Orkiestra Muzyki Nowej / Minimal music / Journeys into the unknown - NOSPR

The contemporary music concert cycle presented by the OMN Ensemble is a chance to immerse oneself in a world of new sounds and compositions. Established in 1996, for nearly three decades the Ensemble has been presenting contemporary works, always following its mission of exploring and promoting those of particular significance for Polish and global musical culture. Their experimental performances lead audiences through the complexity, diversity, ambiguity and polyphonicity of contemporary music. 

Every year, tens of thousands of new pieces of music are composed. Among those, one can find very good and excellent works, or even works of pure genius. The OMN Ensemble, working first under the baton of its founder, Aleksander Lasoń, and since 2006 under the artistic directorship of the conductor Szymon Bywalec, constantly turns even the most challenging scores into performances. Every concert becomes a journey into the unknown, filled with risk and discovery of new modes of collaboration and creation. These explorations open for the listener a path to a deeper understanding of contemporary music.
