On October 18, Vitebsk / Sergey Kotovets - BELTA /. The Belarusian premiere of the musical project "Organ Odyssey" by Polish composer and organist Dariusz Przybylski, which will take place today at the Vitebsk Philharmonic Hall, will provide an opportunity to get acquainted with modern trends in musical culture. This was announced today at a press conference by the artistic director of the Philharmonic, Nelly Matsaberidze, reports BELTA correspondent. Eight young composers from Poland, Belarus, Great Britain, Germany, Ukraine, and South Korea took part in the project. Inspired by Homer's epic poem, young musicians presented their interpretation of the sound material and poetic text, an individual view of the organ, and the possibility of using its sonic advantages. As a result, listeners have a unique opportunity to hear and appreciate different compositional techniques and works by representatives of various national musical schools in one concert. In addition, the project allows admirers of organ music to gain insights and information about modern trends in musical culture and to get acquainted with the modern musical language, emphasized Nelly Matsaberidze. According to the project's author, Dariusz Przybylski, the idea of combining the most ancient text with the most ancient musical instrument using modern musical material was born this year. He invited his musician friends and young composers whom he met at various festivals to participate in the project. Homer's text was chosen, partly because the work's fame meant there were no translation issues. Eight texts were selected for the project, which inspired the young authors to write music. Dariusz Przybylski presents "Organ Odyssey" as an organ poem in eight parts with textual accompaniment, each part dedicated to the work of one of the project participants. Text excerpts will be read between parts to explain "what is happening" on stage and help listeners grasp the imagery of the works. At the concert in Vitebsk, the texts will be read by the young Belarusian composer Konstantin Yaskov, who is also the author of one of the works in this project. In addition, "Organ Odyssey" will feature compositions by Dariusz Przybylski, Eunho Chang, Ralf Bernardi, Alexander Champkin, Jagoda Szmytka, Bogdan Sechin, and Tomasz Opalka. The organ music concert in Vitebsk was prepared with the assistance of the Polish Institute in Minsk.
