100 000 POLSK: GWADERA / MIRO / LUBIENIECKI / IWAN (PL)

Radio Lublin Concert Studio, Obrońców Pokoju 2 Street

PREMIERE

100 000 POLSK is a unique project exploring the Polish-Swedish traditional dance, whose roots reach back to the 16th century during the ambitious cultural policies of Sigismund III Vasa. One of the most enduring musical idioms of Northern Europe, over one hundred thousand variants of Polish melodies have been preserved in Swedish archives. This concert presents a micro-pulsating, trance-like, and radically reimagined interpretation of these tunes, returning the form to the place from which it likely originated.

The performance is the first public presentation of a program developed through archival research in Sweden and the collaboration of musicians working at the intersection of tradition and contemporary practice: Maja Miro, Ryszard Lubieniecki, Paweł Iwan, and Piotr Gwadera. It also serves as a preview of an album scheduled for release in late 2026. The project was realized with support from the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage.

Artists:
Maja Miro – multi-flutist, improviser, and curator, specializing in historical transverse flutes; creates experimental projects blending early instruments with contemporary sensibilities.
Piotr Gwadera – percussionist, improviser, and composer; creator of the “footberk” concept, exploring the connections between rhythm, movement, and cultural memory.
Ryszard Lubieniecki – composer, musicologist, and improviser; researches late medieval music in dialogue with contemporary practice; performs new compositions on accordion and early keyboard instruments.
Paweł Iwan – cimbalom player, singer, and dancer; cultural animator from southeastern Poland, documenting and performing traditional melodies of the region.

100 000 POLSK offers a rare opportunity to experience Northern European traditional music in a modern, trance-driven, and experimental soundscape.
