NORWID is a project whose concept is based on the author's jazz interpretation of selected works of the fourth stanza, read by the outstanding actor, Andrzej Chyre. The world of improvisation emerges in an intriguing relationship with the selection of Norwid's lyrics, which serve as an impulse for musicians to create an individual and unique commentary.

CONTRACTORS:

Kasia Pietrzko — piano, compositions, selection of texts

Maciej Kądziela — alto saxophone, compositions, selection of texts

Andrzej Święs — double bass

Zieliński in an article describing the performance of “Jazz Forum Talents” at the Jazz Festival

on the Oder wrote:

‒

I particularly liked it

Maćk Kądeli's saxophone song, sounding in places like a lamenting trumpet

Stops. Maybe this is one of the reasons for the collaboration between pianist and saxophonist

— after all, Kasia Pietrzko toured with Tomasz Stańko just before his death.

Andrzej Chyra is one of the most appreciated actors

film and theatre — constantly looking for new forms of expression and

unobvious, artistic confrontations. He has worked and cooperated with

the most important directors: Andrzej Wajda, Krzysztof Krauze,

Krzysztof Zanussi, Feliks Falek, Marek Koterski, Jacek Borcuch

or Małgorzata Szumowska. In the theater, he performed in plays by, among others, Jerzy

Grzegorzewski, Agnieszka Glińska and Grzegorz Jarzyna. In 2001 he played

Dionysus in Euripides' Bachantki directed by Krzysztof Warlikowski

Theater of Variety in Warsaw. Since then, he constantly performs in the theater

Krzysztof Warlikowski.
