Polish Sinfonia Iuventus Orchestra invites to a concert titled dark matter(s): the nature of sound that will be held on 18^th of June 2016 at Polish Radio Concert Studio of W. Lutoslawski in Warsaw. Orchestra will be led by Wiktor Kociuban, a respected conductor of Polish origin. International career as a conductor he began in 2014 as an assistant of Heinz Holliger by the production of composer’s opera Schneewittchen at the Opera Theater in Basel. Later he made his debut at the renowned Luceme Festival (2014) conducting  Lucerne Festival Academy Orchestra (B. A. Zimmermann – Sinfonie in einem Satz). The artist personally worked with such composers as Krzysztof Penderecki,  Georg Friedrich Haas, Heinz Holliger or Sofia Gubaidulina, as well as shared the stage with such artists as Mischa Maisky, Ivan Monighetti, Marcus Weiss or Mike Svoboda.

Dark matter(s) is an original project of Wiktor Kociuban, which is a series of concerts with orchestras, the aim of which is to present both known and unknown music pieces of the XX and XXI centuries to the public. Program the nature of sound presents three compositions of music giants: De natura sonoris 2 by Krzysztof Penderecki, Melodien by György Ligeti and Quattro Pezzi su una nota sola by Giacinto Scelsi, and also the work titled Natures mortes by famous Austrian composer Georg Friedrich Haas composed in 2003.

As Wiktor Kociuban explains: Our visible world, and so is all we know (or ordinary matter, so-called baryonic) is only 5 percent of the Universe; dark energy is 68 percent, while title dark matter, which affects gravity and makes galaxies to have one or the other form is 27 percent of the universe. Both this “invisible scaffolding of the world” (dark matter), and a new music (art) how often wrongly overlooked today, is a very important part of our existence: it is the core of culture – as an art. That belongs to us, as opposed to that former, created for people living in other times, sensitive to other forms of expression and perceiving art in a completely different context.
