SERIOUSLY FRIVOLOUS — NEW YEAR'S GALA

Classics can be quite unpredictable and do not always have to speak in an exclusively uplifting tone. Especially when it comes to artists with a rather unobvious view of music and “sanctified” stage conventions It turns out that — with their sense of humor and distance to themselves combined with musical erudition — classics can also: joke about their own conventions, go against the grain, flirt, bully, and above all — poop and put you in a great mood!

The New Year's Gala with Waldemar Malicki is an invitation to an evening elegant and rebellious at the same time; full of artistry, but also controlled chaos, sparkling with a whole palette of musical nuances, including jokes and parodies. So there will be a preview of the great adventure of Wilhelm Tell, the Viennese splendor of the Straussian Kaiser-Walzer, the winter grace of the Skaters and the explosive March of Radetzky. Along the way, musical worlds outside the canon of classics will also flare up - jazz melancholy, Broadway glamor, New York pulse, Iberian temperament, spicy Argentine tango nuevo and danced Puerto Rican fiesta. The dramaturgy of this special evening will be complemented by sketches by the piano virtuoso, anecdotes and accurate punctuation — Waldemar Malicki, who will invite the audience to play together in musical associations.

If you want to welcome the New Year — then with momentum, a smile and in excellent company!
