We invite you to an open-air opera performance on September 15 at 20.00 in a beautiful palace in Nieborów – the seat of the Radziwiłł family. Admission!

“So what is time? If no one asks me, I know. If I try to explain to the questioner, I do not know,” notes St. Augustine. Is time, measured in seconds and minutes, in breathing cycles or in rhythmic units, exactly the same in all cases? Zofia Dowgiałło’s work “Tempus imprefectum” is a reflection on the nature of time. It highlights various ways of organizing the temporal course of the work, developed in the music of past eras: golden ratio, axis of symmetry, imitation technique, added value, acceleration, density, difference and repetition. However, at the center of this narrative remains man – the main witness of his own passing.
The collaboration between composer Zofia Dowgiałło and flutist Ania Karpowicz dates back to 2011. The artists constantly meet to explore the sound possibilities of the flute and harp together, creating the project “Fl:Ar:Art”. They were guests at the Poznań Music Spring, AudioArt festivals, as well as in the Concert Studio of the Polish Radio and performed the concert “Rezonant Czerwony”.
