We would like to invite you most cordially to a special, almost unique concert by Konrad Imiela, which will take place already on 24.05.2025 at the Gruszów Palace.
Konrad Imiela is an actor, singer, theatre director, pedagogue and songwriter. For many years, he has been associated with the Capitol Musical Theatre (he has been its director since 2006) and the Actor Songs Review (he was the artistic director in 2007-2014).
The artist has written a few words especially for this event, be sure to read:
I have been singing songs with the guitar for many years. When I was growing up, the model of a bard accompanying himself on the instrument was extremely popular. I learned to play the guitar at a scout rally and, I remember asking one of the focal guitarists: ‘I already know A minor. What can you play after that? Can you teach me?’ - He was taken aback and didn't answer me anything. After a while, I answered myself.
I recently authorised my songs from thirty-odd years ago for publication in a collective songbook. It was quite a strange feeling, because I met myself from that time and saw my qualities, but also a lot of sentimentality, pretentiousness and following fashions. Today I prefer to create at the piano, but the guitar is still my primary instrument. On all my albums I have played it.
Songwriting has always stemmed from a strong need - to confide, to de-stress, to be therapeutic, to be creative. I used to perform more often in recitals with my guitar, I've gone back to it a couple of times recently and realised how much I missed this form of performance. I'll play my own songs, but probably also Tom Waits, William Shakespeare and someone else. We'll see.
Singing songs at Kinga and Tomasz at the Gruszów Palace will be exciting because it's not a theatre or concert space, so it gives you a chance to have a very personal, intimate experience. I am very much looking forward to this meeting.
