"Where Is The Love?"

Jazz standards and free improvisations

We value a variety of musical genres. Therefore, the second concert of the Piano Trio Fest 2024 is once again dedicated to jazz. The piano trio is considered the standard formation there. This time, the internationally active Marcin Grochowina Trio will perform in the atmospheric hall of the Hotel Jardin.

Marcin Grochowina is one of the few concert pianists who, in addition to the classical repertoire, also master jazz and improvisation at a high professional level. With unconventional programs, such as a Georg Gershwin project and compositions from the Theresienstadt concentration camp, among others, Grochowina seeks to break through the specialization of concert performance and meaningfully connect the artistic gestures of composition and improvisation. His piano recital, "Classic meets Jazz," recorded by Südwestrundfunk, featuring works by Beethoven, Chopin, Ellington, and Miles Davis, received significant attention. In 1999, he participated in the concert "Menuhin for MUS-E" at the invitation of Sir Yehudi Menuhin. Through numerous projects like "Beethoven and Improvisation," "Miles to Mozart," and "Composition-Inspiration-Improvisation," Marcin Grochowina evolves as a pianist who 'builds bridges'.
