 Requiem for Mozart - a music travel through Mozart's Requiem.
A group of musicians from Poland, inspired by this masterpiece of Mozart, are going to take the audience and themselves on a journey to eternity in music based on classical themes and free improvisation. The idea of the project is to combine classical instruments such as piano and clarinet with ethnic sounds (Tibetan gongs, Chinese guzang) and unusual instruments such as Theremin - the only instrument which can be played on without touching it.
The whole experiment is based on the melodies, composition and harmony of just one requiem of Mozart.
Piotr Rachoń - piano
Mateusz Rybicki - clarinet, bass clarinet
Michał Litwa Litwiniec - gongs, etnic sounds, theremin
