European Première of TOMBEAU in Kielce, Poland

European première of Tombeau sur la mort de Monsieur Górecki for amplified alto flute, live electronics and orchestra (2010) took place on 20 April 2012, during the Festival of Polish Music at the Philharmonic Hall in Kielce, Poland. The soloist was Agnieszka Kaćma, the Kielce Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Maestro Alexander Walker from the United Kingdom.

From programme notes: “Written thanks to the grant received through the Alberta Creative Development Initiative/The Canada Council for the Arts, Tombeau sur la mort de Monsieur Górecki for amplified alto flute and small orchestra was originally intended to be an entirely different piece. But, on 12 November 2010 everything changed. This is my tribute to the man who died on that day”.
