Concert “Espresso in the Clouds” at the Polish Aviation Museum

During the “Espresso in the Clouds” concert, which took place on a Sunday afternoon, the audience heard compositions by two outstanding film music composers: Philip Glass and Joe Hisaishi. The programme featured String Quartet No. 3 “Mishima”, inspired by the film soundtrack of the same name, and the atmospheric “Merry-go-round of Life” from the animated film “Howl’s Moving Castle”. The intimate concert surrounded by historic aircraft was a unique opportunity to “float among the clouds” in the company of classical music.

Before the concert, a meeting took place with Dr. hab. Krzysztof Mroczkowski, Deputy Director for Research at the Museum, who introduced guests to the connection between aviation, culture and art.

Performers:

• Justyna Duda-Krane – violin
• Katarzyna Balas – violin
• Ewa Szczepańska-Chwast – viola
• Marcin Mączyński – cello

Programme:

• Philip Glass – String Quartet No. 3 “Mishima” (1985)
• Joe Hisaishi – “Merry-go-round of Life” from the film “Howl’s Moving Castle” (2004)

Thanks to the Museum’s collaboration with Sinfonietta Cracovia, concert attendees had the opportunity not only to immerse themselves in musical elation, but also to visit our permanent exhibition in the Main Building.
