What is a birdhouse? A place to admire birds: ornamental, exotic, rare. Here live creatures under strict protection: birds-poems and birds-people. Perhaps nowhere else in the world can they still be found. We are led there by sounds light as a feather, small as the robin from The Secret Garden<\/em>. A place where everything sounds different from reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bird gossip<\/em>, A Little Sparrow<\/em>, The Belated Nightingale<\/em> \u2013 Witold Lutos\u0142awski\u2019s miniatures are full of birds, arriving with the words of Julian Tuwim, Jadwiga Korczakowska, Lucyna Krzemieniecka, and Agnieszka Barto. \u201cThe nobility of melody, depth of harmonic intuition, formal elegance, and sensitivity to nuances of color\u201d \u2013 so serious critics wrote about children\u2019s songs. And yet they are full of simple tunes, rhymes, and playful words \u2013 all the things children love. Add to that Lutos\u0142awski\u2019s colorful orchestration, where clarinets become geese and ducklings, the oboe a chirping sparrow, flutes sing the nightingale\u2019s trills, and strings flutter like seagull wings. And there are countless emotions: joy, sadness, mystery, playfulness, bliss. We will follow their trail carefully, so as not to startle them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if you visit the \u201cBirdhouse,\u201d remember that it is a slightly peculiar place, on the border between poetry, concert, and theater, where the story is told through sound, movement, and light. And birds-people and birds-poems pause here for a moment to tell us something about themselves \u2013 and about us. These birds will come not only from Lutos\u0142awski\u2019s songs but also from earlier times \u2013 from Ottorino Respighi\u2019s Gli uccelli<\/em>, and even from the works of the Baroque flutist and composer Jacob van Eyck. Will we be able to understand their language? All that chattering, trilling, whistling, hissing, and cooing? Children and their imagination probably will. And adults? Well, as Raymond Murray Schafer \u2013 who shared Lutos\u0142awski\u2019s love of silence \u2013 wrote: \u201cbirds, like poems, should not mean, but be.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The concert is intended for families with children over the age of 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
