The festiwal will open with two compositions: "Xiwangmu" by Ewelina Nowicka, specially written for the occasion (performed by the violin orchestra), and "The Lecture" by Wang Jue from Bejing (performed by the symphonic orchestra). YouMe! Jugendsinfonieorchester, Christine Schwarz, conductor Jean Sibelius: Karelia-Overture op. 10 Friday, 23.08.2013, 20:00 Hasida for two violins has been published by Verlag Neue Musik in Berlin. Sikorski Verlag have published my arrangement of Mieczysław Weinbergs Violin concerto in g minor op. 67 (for violin and piano). The score is at Sikorski Verlag in Hamburg available. A review of my composition Conventus for piano solo appeared in the February edition of PIANONews magazine (02/2013). "(...)Listening to Nowicka’s music we enter the world of the composer’s feelings and experience inspired on one hand by the story of her experienced family, the family strongly associated with the Jewish culture, and on the other by revolutionary stylistic of contemporary music. The inspirations are reflected in her works. "Conventus" is the work of the features that characterize a spectacle: serious and expressive, full of fantasy and deep emotions. One may get an impression that the artist smashes a lump of sounds with a hammer that gently disperse and slide down on the registers of the piano. Traditional techniques of modernism, such as clusters or melting passages intertwine with neoromanticism techniques: à la Lera Auerbach and Minimal Music."
more... "(...)Nevertheless, the ballet Pan Twardowski, recognised in Poland as a historical masterpiece, gives a suitable impression: four transcripts for the violin and piano, played by violinist Ewelina Nowicka, endow the listener with the charm of fantastic sounds of this story called a Polish Faust rooted in the Polish soul. Two melodies op. cit. 5 and two nocturnes op. cit. 30 for the violin and piano enchant with their melodious charm and delightful contrasts, reveal the mastery creation and richness of references. The insight presented to a lesser extent in precious forms from 1904, blossoms in a magnificent concerto op. cit. 70 - which is a proper introduction to the CD – written by Różycki in 1944 close to Cracow, where he found shelter after the Warsaw Uprising. This masterpiece, which is particularly expressive and combines lyric thoughts of andante and lively impetus of allegro deciso most effectively, was only composed for the piano. The orchestral part was arranged by Zygmunt Rychert, who standing behind his pulpit plays the role of a competent advocate of Różycki’s music. This way the conductor and fascinating soloist Ewelina Nowicka, with her delicate, warm touch and perfect technique, the magnificent Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra Katowice, and pianists Pola Lazar and Michał Krężlewski, propose an interpretation which is convincing and reveals deepest involvement. This performance makes the listener want to learn more about Różycki’s work." Wednesday 07.11.2012, Laeiszhalle, Kleiner Saal Program: Mariola Rutschka, Flute In the September edition of Neue Musikzeitung (nmz 9/12, p.42) a short review of my new CD „Musik für Violine und Klavier“ was published by Max Nyffeler. The disc was issued by Kreuzberg Records in Berlin. "A thirty year old Ewelina Nowicka born in Gdańsk has been in a comfortable situation because being an excellent instrumentalist she is able to play her own compositions for violin.

With energetic and sometimes metallic sound she gives her rhythmically tense compositions a certain shape using a wide selection of articulation and tone colours.
In “Kaddish 1944”, in memory of an aunt deported to Auschwitz as well as in „Concerto ebraico“ clearly sounded Polish – Jewish roots.
In the space of free swaying melodic and tight motor, the music gains power. Though the process technique never goes beyond the framework of scrupulous craft but still the straightforwardness and vitality are riveting and absorbing."
