This Saturday, 25th July I’ll be playing on the meadow next to Polin (The Museum of the History of Polish Jews) in Warsaw. We’re performing as a duo, with Wojtek Traczyk on bass and double bass, and the material is special: commissioned years ago by Mrion Zajfert, and only performed twice, as far as I remember, the poetry of Rywa Kwiatkowska-Pinchasik with my own music. It’s a very special kind of poetry, documenting the life of the Lodz Getto, and the author’s later trials and travels. It’s about the worth of the human life (and the worth of beauty and the hope that beauty is able to deliver) in the circumstances of war, exile and fascist regimes – a subject matter I wish was less current.
Despite the heaviness of the themes, I hope we get good weather on Saturday. Admission’s free. I only wish Miron could see us perform, once again.
