Extractions: to all material Pianist rises to demand of challenging repertoire ADAM ALEKSANDER (piano), presented by the Music Society of Port Elizabeth in collaboration with UPE Cultura (UPE Auditorium): THE Canadian pianist Adam Aleksander has an impressive CV, including many top prizes for his live performances and his recordings. His Port Elizabeth programme was devoted to works by Beethoven and Liszt, opening with Seven Bagatelles by Beethoven. Each bagatelle was surely characterised and, while his playing was polished and sympathetic, his articulation in the faster pieces was exhilaratingly crisp and clean. Aleksander then went on to the main work of the first half of the programme, Beethovens Sonata in C Minor Op. 111 . This was the last piano sonata that Beethoven wrote and shows all his experience and musical genius. The composers sense of texture, development, structure and refinement was at its highest and the work requires a performer with great skill and subtlety to do it justice. The pianist showed us that he has both the artistry and technical fluency required to give the sonata a convincing performance.

His birthplace was the village of Zelazowa Wola near Sochaczew, in the region of Mazovia, which was part of the Duchy of Warsaw.

Extractions: The jazz played during the early Polish festivals in the 1950's was improvised, based on well known standards, and following all the rules of this music. Young enthusiasts were, however, mainly amateurs. Thus in comparison with American or even European musicians the standard of performing jazz in Poland was relatively low. During the 1950's, a few jazz bands were created, including: MELOMANI / Music Lovers of Jerzy "Dudus" Matuszkiewicz, SEKSTET / Sextet of Krzysztof Komeda, JAZZ BELIEVERS of Jan Ptaszyn Wroblewski, and NEW ORLEANS STOMPERS , who played traditional jazz. During the period between 1956 and 1960, the talents of musicians who create and perform until today emerged and developed. These musicians have clearly influenced the activities of the next generations of Polish jazzmen. These are:
