Polish Danish Jazz Days at Copenhagen Jazz Festival

Polish Danish Jazz Days during Copenhagen Jazz Festival 2017 will celebrate ten years anniversary of a beautiful musical friendship between Polish and Scandinavian young artists. You will enjoy live concerts, film projection, artist discussion and much more.

The Unusual Friendship

The history of the cooperations between young Polish and Danish musicians began about ten years ago, with a group of three artists, who decided to pursue their music education in Denmark. Through their studies at Carl Nielsen Academy of Music in Odense, Tomasz Licak, Bartłomiej Wawryniuk and Marek Kądziela initiated a new opening in Polish-Danish cooperation within the realm of improvised music.

Ensembles drawing inspiration from the amalgam of Slavic, and Scandinavian cultures succeeded on the European music market thus initiating a large “wave” of young artists wishing to follow the same direction in art.

As a result of these events, young Polish musicians applied for studying at Danish Conservatories, starting from Esbjerg, through Odense to Copenhagen’s Rhythmic Music Conservatory. This has been a major factor in establishing of a very specific combination of cultures, musical inspirations and long-lasting friendships in these artistic worlds. Many young Danish jazz musicians followed these inspiring international cooperations and got the opportunity to play concerts in Poland.

After 10 years of fruitful friendship the Polish and Danish artists would like to show the significance of this friendship through the concerts of succesful Polish-Danish bands as well as other interesting events. Initiators of the celebration are the four Polish musicians, living in Denmark: Tomasz Licak, Tomasz Dabrowski, Maciej Kadziela og Radek Wosko.
