Atom String Quartet is one of the most intriguing string quartets in the world, and also one of best Polish jazz bands. The group combines the capabilities of a string quartet (i.e. two violins, viola and cello) with improvisation in its broad sense. The set of instruments of a chamber music ensemble, which is most classic and firmly established in music tradition, enables the artists to search for new sound and formal achievements. It is difficult to define, in an explicit way, the music style of the group. Its musical output, besides jazz, shows sources of inspiration coming from Polish folk, music of various regions of the world, and also contemporary and classical music.

The quartet was established in Warsaw in 2010, and since doing so has performed at most of the world’s major Jazz Festivals, produced four original albums, and collaborated with artists such as Branford Marsalis and Bobby McFerrin (amongst many others). In 2017/2018 season Atom String Quartet was the artist-in-residence in Mieczysław Karłowicz Philharmonic in Szczecin.

Kolejny rok, kolejna edycja, kolejny spektakularny projekt, na który mamy przyjemność Was zaprosić, inaugurując tym samym

Dorota Miśkiewicz koncertem PIANO.PL składa hołd polskiej pianistyce. Fortepian to polska specjalność, spośród wielu doskonałych muzyków, to właśnie pianiści wiodą w Polsce prym – zauważa. Jako, że gatunkiem najbliższym Dorocie jest jazz, podkreśla nade wszystko dokonania polskich pianistów jazzowych, którzy spektakularnie podążają drogą wyznaczoną niegdyś przez światowej sławy muzyka, Krzysztofa Komedę. Drogą wyznaczoną także przez Fryderyka Chopina, który był nie tylko znakomitym kompozytorem, pianistą, ale i… improwizatorem!

Koncert PIANO.PL jest kontynuacją bezprecedensowego wydarzenia zrealizowanego w maju 2016 roku w Warszawie, podczas którego na jednej scenie wraz z Dorotą Miśkiewicz zaprezentowali się Leszek Możdżer, Włodzimierz Nahorny, Marcin Wasilewski, Grzegorz Turnau, Andrzej Jagodziński, Bogdan Hołownia, Krzysztof Herdzin, Dominik Wania, Michał Tokaj, Piotr Orzechowski, Tomasz Kałwak, Lutosławski Piano Duo (Bartek Wąsik i Emilia Sitarz), Atom String Quartet oraz Henryk Miśkiewicz.
Płyta CD I DVD z rejestracją koncertu miała swoją premierę 28 października 2016 wywołując ogromne uznanie krytyków i środowiska muzycznego, które przełożyło się na przyznanie płycie wiele nagród I wyróżnień.

Na koncercie w Świdnicy, Dorocie Miśkiewicz towarzyszyć będą trzej pianiści reprezentujący trzy muzyczne pokolenia oraz Atom String Quartet.

Na koncert składają się piosenki należące do kanonu polskiej muzyki, a ich wybór podyktowany został osobistymi sympatiami Doroty, subiektywnym odczuwaniem muzyki i tekstu. Decyzje aranżacyjne dotyczące wybranych utworów pozostawione zostały pianistom. Niektóre aranżacje są zaskakujące, pokazują nowe oblicze mniej lub bardziej znanych piosenek, inne dążą do prostoty, nie odbiegając znacznie od oryginałów. Jedne i drugie zachwycają!
