Now entering its second week, Glasgow’s month long festival of Polish Arts in the 1980s starts its music programme tomorrow (Friday 11) with Polish Ensemble Camerata Vistula (see photo). Formed only 2A years ago, it has quickly established close links with the Polish Compos- ers’ Unlon, so has given first performances of many of the works its concerts include, like nearly all of the season’s music being heard in Britain for the first time.
Along with the more well known names like Gorecki, Lutoslawski and Pendereckl, the Polish musicians, in large and small ensembles, also play works by names unfamiliar to us - Moon Flowers by Marta Ptaszynslta, Poland’s leading woman composer, a two cello piece by Czarneclti. a world premiere by Macie] Maleckl. Scottish ensembles the New Music Group of Scotland and Paragon play Polish music too. Paragon’s electro- acoustic concert on Saturday 19 includes three specially commis- sioned works, one by Scottish
teams tip with Anne ( 'hatrrantl oti gtrttat and lute for a programme including Scottish lttte music and worksby l-allaand Rodrigo.

composer John Maxwell Geddes being the only non-Polish work in the 10 day span of concerts. ‘The three works are incredibly different’ says Paragon’s director David Davies. ‘The tape of Only Beatrix features a voice doing all sorts of strange things. The Maxwell Geddes, for string quartet, clarinet and tape will be quite a delight and then Krupowlcz’s Farewell Variations on a Theme by Mozart uses an entire symphony orchestra and chorus. It should be quite a spectacular concert.’
Undoubtedly the concerts will provide a fascinating insight into what’s happening in Polish music just now, whether for acoustic instruments, electronics or, more surprisingly, the accordion. And even the conductor of the BBC SSO, Jerzy Maksymulk, becomes an official Polish Reality, with the first British performance of his Trio on Sunday 20. (Carol Main) Polish New Music of the Eighties, Friday 11 ~ Sunday 20. Various dates and venues. See listings for details.
