​

Forte Artus Festival captures a live performance of original music by Sebastian Zawadzki, bringing together piano, string quartet, voices, woodwinds, synthesizers and acoustic instruments in a large-scale contemporary classical setting.

Performed at the historic Artus Court in Toruń, the concert presents a collection of compositions that move between chamber music, cinematic soundscapes and modern classical composition. Combining acoustic and electronic elements, the music unfolds through evolving textures, lyrical melodies and rich instrumental colours.

At the centre of the performance is the dialogue between piano, strings and voices, creating a sound world that is both intimate and expansive. The live setting adds a unique sense of energy and presence, allowing each composition to develop organically through interaction between performers and space.

Blending contemporary classical music, cinematic composition and atmospheric chamber music, Forte Artus Festival offers a powerful portrait of Sebastian Zawadzki's work as a composer and pianist. The performance reflects an artistic language shaped by melody, emotion and a constant search for new sonic possibilities.
