Polish Contemporary Music for ‘Cello series
This year, as a Junior Fellow at Trinity College of Music, Evva is preparing a series of concerts, where presents some of the most interesting works of the Polish modern cello repertoire. The concerts, supported by the Polish Cultural Institute in London and the Joan Greenfield Trust will take place this spring and in the autumn at the College and at Blackheath Halls. One of the exciting features of this project is commissioning new works from five Polish composers of the young generation, which will be performed in the last concert of the series at Blackheath Halls in October 2007.
The third concert, taking place on 24th April, 7.30 pm at Trinity College of Music, Theatre Studio, will feature cello works by Jerzy Bauer, Hanna Kulenty, Piotr Moss and Marta Ptaszyńska as well as the British première of Miniatura (2001) by Olga Hans.
