Electro Sinfonietta is a new series of concerts, a space where classicaland electronic music merge, created with young adult listeners in mind. Incollaboration with the Manggha Museum of Japanese Art and Technology,Sinfonietta Cracovia offers them the experience of the synthesis of arts. TheElectro Sinfonietta series will combine string instruments with electronics,multimedia, as well as artificial intelligence tools, inviting listeners into asafe audiovisual space inspired by the anime culture.

This year we are offering four concerts, lasting about an hour each—inaccordance with the rhythm of the changing seasons—that explore various soundsof the anime cinematic music. After the encounter with the sound of the Ghiblistudio and the cyberpunk vibe, follow us into the world of music inspired bythe cult anime series Cowboy Bebop. This time Sinfonietta Cracovia conducted byKatarzyna Tomala-Jedynak will play with jazz energy, supported by the jazzcombo led by Marek Pospieszalski. The fusion of syncopated rhythms and stingsounds, as usual, will draws us into the world of Japanese animation, andcinematic images will come to life thanks to spatial mapping of the Mangghaspace, creating unique, immersive experience.
