Kuba Krzewinski: Trigger Warning

for five voices and video

(2024)

The piece tells the true story of two professionals from the new music scene who experienced burnout. Festival highlights may be glamorous, but life can be harsh, even for the highly praised and deserving artists. One is a critic, the other a composer. Their real names are not revealed, and their faces are blurred in the accompanying video interview. Both embody a story that is deeply relatable to those within the world of new music, yet it finds universal resonance. The Neue Vocalsolisten sing their stories, accompanied by two audience members selected on-site.

Trigger Warning: The piece contains drastic and intense details about working in the new music scene.

(Kuba Krzewinski)

Kuba Krzewinski (*1988) graduated with distinction in violin from the H. Wieniawski School of Music in Łódź. He studied composition at the Music Academy in Łódź, the Koninklijk Conservatorium in The Hague, and the Hochschule für Musik in Dresden. His composition professors included Zygmunt Krauze, Krzysztof Knittel, Yannis Kyriakides, Mayke Nas, Manos Tsangaris, and Mark Andre. He has received various scholarships and awards, including the 2019 Förderpreis for young composers from the Saxon Composers’ Association. In 2018, he was nominated by Culture.pl as one of the ten most promising young Polish composers. In 2019, a DVD featuring his recent chamber music works was released by Bôłt Records in Poland. In September 2024, the world premiere of the show Ep, which he co-directed with Agnieszka Jakimiak and for which he composed the music, took place at the TR Warszawa Theatre. In his work, Kuba Krzewinski focuses on the sense of touch as the origin of sound, as the axis of the relationship between performer and instrument, and as a medium for social communication. By incorporating performative elements, multimedia, and tactile references, Krzewinski offers the audience new ways to approach both the music and the body.
