October Suite | RGG Grzywacz Majewski Strycharski | AdLibitum

 The greatest Polish piano trio RGG played in the great final of Ad Libitum Festival 2020. In the middle of pandemic restrictions, almost without the audience but with a great companion on three additional and at the same time exceptional guests. Next to the band stood on the festival's stage, one of the most interesting and promising vocalists Marta Grzywacz, great trumpet player Artur Majewski, and block flutes virtuoso Dominic Strycharski. They met for the first time, they knew nothing about what they will play, and from the beginning, they knew that it will be a surprising and unexpected musical journey. Almost one-hour music without any intermissions played in full concentration and artistic elation. credits released May 31, 2022
