The Baltic Neopolis Orchestra in association with Trafostacja Sztuki in Szczecin are presenting the world premiere of EXKURS by Szymon Brzóska, in Kaya Kołodziejczyk’s choreography to take place on Friday, 2 August 2013 at 5 pm. While composing the piece, Szymon Brzóska took inspiration from the technique applied in spectral music. The piece’s essence lies in its novel approach to sound, its timbre and temporal aspect, and the transposition of the phenomenon of sound spectrum’s recurrence in space. The piece will be arranged for a string orchestra, wind instruments, percussion instruments and electronics. The duo of Brzóska and Kołodziejczyk use the mythical figure of Phoenix, symbol of the sun and endless revival. They explore territories for the viewer to experience – acoustically and visually – the birth of a new quality in art. We witness interlacing visual and plastic images, both of choreographic and musical nature, illustrating the comings and goings of motifs, which corresponds to the project’s multidisciplinary character. The composition is based on the coexistence of music and movement either on one or many levels, with the two elements complementing each other while retaining their independence and uniqueness in the space they share. Both realities – the musical and the choreographic one – are juxtaposed as contrasting entities which nevertheless gravitate to merge with one another. One results from the other and vice versa; penetrating one another they create a new aesthetic quality.

Trafostacja Sztuki TRAFO in Szczecin is the first centre of contemporary art in north-western Poland.Under its Artist-in-Residence programme, TRAFO creates a non-conventional space for artists to live andwork in watched by the audience.The Baltic Neopolis Orchestra is a chamber orchestra based in Szczecin.
