Szczecin legends for adults

Piotr Klimek – composer, teacher and music producer, was born in Szczecin in 1973 and is associated with the city as a lecturer at the University of Szczecin and the Academy of Arts. He graduated in composition at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague (under Gilius van Bergeijk and Diderik Haakma Wagenaar) and at the Academy of Music in Poznań (under Grażyna Pstrokońska-Navratil). He writes instrumental and vocal-instrumental music, including film music, and creates sound installations. Currently, he is the director of the Animation Theater in Poznań.

Inspired by the legends of his hometown, such as the Emerald Lake, the Tower of Seven Coats and the griffin from the Szczecin coat of arms, the composer wrote a series of works entitled "On Fish and Men", with the premiere performed last year by the Szczecin Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Norbert Twórczyński. The composition will be heard again with the same cast. Przemek Głowa will be the narrator of the concert. He is a well-known city guide and blogger who knows the many legends of Szczecin.
