For now, I am so looking forward to the New Year shaped by meditation with and without the harpsichord!

Wishing you all a meaningful year! ✨

A world premiere is planned for October 2026, with performances continuing into 2027 and beyond, and the project also expanding into a book.

[Katarzyna Kowalik @covalique]

The project will involve new commissions for harpsichord, Tibetan singing bowls, gongs, and electronics, created in collaboration with British and Polish composers, alongside a CD recording and a series of immersive, meditative concert experiences.

Pamela Nash also writes: “Kowalik’s execution throughout these six pieces allows the prevailing rhythmic characters and gestures time to breathe… The sixth and final Invention, played with compelling control, is a sublime example of the composer’s brillante writing.”

[Katarzyna Kowalik @covalique]

✨Delighted to share this wonderful review from Harpsichord&Fortepiano magazine of my CD 💿 Inventions: Contemporary Music for Harpsichord, recorded with Prima Facie, featuring works by Stephen Dodgson and Elizabeth Maconchy. Many thanks to Pamela Nash for such thoughtful words.

[Katarzyna Kowalik @covalique]

“Both composers have found a most worthy advocate in Katarzyna Kowalik, who gives the first recorded performances of all four works.”

[Katarzyna Kowalik @covalique]

Full score here 😂: https://t.co/87z1k5qA17

[Katarzyna Kowalik @covalique]

This is actually hilarious. Score based on real mistakes of over 40 pianists. I totally made some of those, it’s amazing how universal some mistakes are! Now, here you have a list of the possible mistakes, does it prevent you from making them? #KnockTurn #LoveYourMistake

Let this unmeasured preludes be a perfect Prelude to the New Year’s unmeasured opportunities! ✨

[Katarzyna Kowalik @covalique]

Happy New Year! Happy to share new live videos from the French Collection recital at the New Space, New College, Oxford, including this wonderful prelude by Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre: https://t.co/vYDGx8woj0

[Katarzyna Kowalik @covalique]

What I love about the unmeasured preludes is the freedom they offer and countless invitations to explore time and space in music through ‘clouds’ of harmonies, ambiguous gestures and improvisatory character.
