On October 24th<\/strong>, at the Polish Academy of Sciences Scientific Station in Paris, a unique scientific and musical event took place, dedicated to the works of Polish \u00e9migr\u00e9 composers<\/strong> active during the interwar period.
\nThe program consisted of a lecture and a concert, which together showcased the richness and diversity of Polish music from the early 20th century.<\/p>\n

The evening began with a lecture by Professor Jolanta Guzy-Pasiak<\/strong> \u2013 a musicologist and head of the \u201cPolish Music Abroad\u201d department at the Institute of Art of the Polish Academy of Sciences<\/strong>. In her presentation, she introduced the audience to the profiles of Polish composers who created while in exile, with particular emphasis on Karol Rathaus<\/strong>. The speaker highlighted the significance of their work for 20th-century musical culture and the challenges these artists faced in the political and social context of their time.<\/p>\n

Following the lecture, a concert was performed by the Ha\u0142at Ensemble<\/strong>, composed of pianist Dr. Aleksandra Ha\u0142at<\/strong> and violinist Dr. Marcin Ha\u0142at<\/strong>. The artists presented a repertoire featuring works by composers such as Karol Rathaus, Tadeusz Zygfryd Kassern, and Alexandre Tansman. A special highlight of the program was the inclusion of archival pieces by Jerzy Fitelberg<\/strong>, researched by the performers and revived in Paris for the first time since the interwar period. The piece Prelude (1938)<\/em> was accompanied by a digital animation depicting a summary of Jerzy Fitelberg\u2019s life (created by Iwona Pom and Kaja Renkas).<\/p>\n

The Ha\u0142at Ensemble\u2019s performances combined classical interpretation with elements of improvisation, creating a bridge between the past and the present. The audience had the opportunity to experience not only the artistic aspect but also to reflect on the fate of Polish \u00e9migr\u00e9 composers.<\/p>\n

The event attracted a wide audience, and one of the distinguished guests who honored the evening with her presence was Mireille Tansman Zanuttini<\/strong>, daughter of composer Alexandre Tansman.<\/p>\n
