One of Musica Electronica Nova's regular programme points are concerts gathering composers from the Wrocław branch of the Polish Composers Society, during which we can hear first performances (often special commissions) by composers associated with our city. Each year, the event is dedicated to a different instrument, to which particular compositions are devoted and which becomes the event's key theme. This time, the protagonist will be the viola. We will hear it in synergy with electronics and video projections in compositions by Mateusz Ryczek, Cezary Duchnowski , Adrian Fołtyn, Rafał Zalech and others.
