Reijseger & Seifert | Synergy Spirit

The final evening of the Seifert Jazz Days will bring music lovers to the space of the Krakow Philharmonic Hall for the first time in the event’s history. Although a new venue for the event, a long-time friend and committed fan of initiatives dedicated to Zbigniew Seifert – the eminent Dutch cellist Ernst Reijseger – will appear on stage. The artist, who regularly appears in Krakow to celebrate the achievements of the brilliant violinist in a variety of forms, this time will offer the festival audience a program in the interpretation of a sizable performing apparatus, although paradoxically also with a distinct chamber character. For the audience will be confronted by a duo framed by the voices of choristers.

The idea for the concert was born out of Ernst Reijseger’s fascination with Seifert’s work. The cellist found points of commonality between his own compositions (older and premiere) and works created by the Krakow violinist. This is where the eponymous spirit of synergy appeared to permeate the music. The universal message and timeless eloquence are absolutely sufficient reasons to be at the Krakow Philharmonic this evening.
