Nowak/Hendrix Duo
Polsk-belgiska duo med ett mål: att spela de vackraste melodierna.
Denna polsk-belgiska duo träffades under sina studier vid Högskolan för scen och musik i Göteborg och har ägnat de senaste åren åt att bygga ett sound som hyllar kombinationen av durspel och klarinett. Genom sin lyhördhet och inspiration tar de dig med på en nostalgisk och vacker resa fylld av musettevalser, mazurkor, tango… Kort sagt: ett mycket subjektivt urval av de vackraste melodierna.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Lena Nowak
Gothenburg based Polish clarinet player. Coming from a classical background she continued her education within world music at the Academy of Music and Drama in Gothenburg. In her playing she uses techniques and ideas from different musical backgrounds, showing the colors and possibilities of the clarinet as a tool of expression and a bridge between different styles, from modal improvisation to early jazz from the 1920s. She works with several projects in Poland and Sweden (f.e.: Warsaw Sentimental Orchestra,, Ahmad Al Khatib, Bosphorus Ensemble, Sabil, Rocio Molina), touring in Europe and in the Middle East.
Lies Hendrix
Gothenburg and Barcelona based Belgian diatonic accordion player. After pursuing a degree in linguistics, she decided to study World Music at the Academy of Music and Drama in Gothenburg. She is inspired by the Belgian balfolk dances, the French musette and traditional fiddle music, the Swedish polskas and the Valencian fandangos. Her sensitivity and creative harmonic instincts take you on a journey through Europe. Lies’s projects include Spöket i köket (Sweden), Aigua (a duo with Valencian guitarist Joan Peiró Aznar) and Duo Mackie/Hendrix (a duo with Canadian fiddle player Robert Alan Mackie).
