GEORG FRIEDRICH HAAS

Workshops devoted to the music of George Friedrich Haas

May 28-31, 2012

Complex of Music Schools No. 1 (“Miodowa”) in Warsaw

The subject of the workshop was a piece by Georg Friedrich Haas “Rondeau”, written for a youth or amateur orchestra, but characterized by the intensity of colors and characteristic spectral effects that we know from works “for professionals”. Under the direction of the conductor Piotr Wajrak, the students’ instrumental ensemble of the J. Elsner Music School prepared a performance of the composition, which became the focal point of the final concert.
