TRIO is a monumental and captivating work. A symphony orchestra and a large choir are confronted with a big band, and all three are put into perspective by historic footage of their predecessors in concert and rehearsal from the first decades of public tv. A game of identity, style and time, remixing the digitized television archives and celebrating the three traditional musical pillars of the major European, public tv stations.
TRIO was co-commissioned by the Danish National Symphony Orchestra and Donaueschinger Musiktage (SWR) and was premiered at the Donaueschingen Festival on the 18th of October 2019, receiving the SWR Orchestra Prize.
Since then, the work has been performed in Denmark, Switzerland and France. Now the time has come to the Polish premiere, where The Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra, Chopin University Big Band and the vocal ensemble proMODERN will join forces on stage at Warsaw Autumn together with the three conductors Andrzej Borzym jr, Piotr Kostrzewa and Geoffrey Paterson.
