After the Concert: Conversation, Reflection, Connection
Following the performance, the audience had the chance to meet the artists at Kamienica Cudów. Conversations about inspiration, improvisation, creative processes, and intercultural collaboration allowed for a deeper understanding of the music that had just unfolded.
This gathering confirmed that Third Ear Music is more than a concert series. It is a space for the exchange of ideas, experiences, and sensitivities — rooted in openness, dialogue, and a conscious approach to artistic creation, including respect for the environment and local context.
Music as a Bridge
The evening of September 19 once again proved that music can be a bridge connecting people, aesthetics, and nationalities. For many listeners, it was not only an encounter with new sounds, but also a feeling of taking part in something truly special — a process happening in the moment.
If you value deep listening, artistic courage, and encounters that leave a lasting impression, the upcoming events of the Third Ear Music series are for you. It is worth being there. It is worth listening. It is worth participating.
Set I: Intimacy and the Memory of Sound
The evening opened with a solo performance by Roberto Delira on the lute. His playing introduced listeners to an intimate, almost baroque atmosphere, built on subtlety, silence, and precise phrasing. It was a moment of focus and calm — an invitation to deep listening, which lies at the very heart of the Third Ear Music concept.
The lute, an instrument deeply rooted in tradition, appeared here not as a relic of the past, but as a living medium of expression, opening the door to what was yet to come. This first set created both an acoustic and mental space for the sonic explorations that followed.
Set II: A Dialogue of Worlds and Aesthetics
The second part of the concert offered a fascinating encounter of musical identities and languages. On stage were:
-
Isabel Anders — a German-Cuban pianist
-
Krzysztof Kasprzyk — a Polish-Austrian saxophonist and electronic musician
Their improvised exchange unfolded like a conversation between two worlds: the precision of classical piano intertwined with electronic abstraction and the expressive voice of the saxophone. The music pulsed with tension and transformation — at times sparse, at times dense, always attentive and alive.
The audience was drawn directly into the creative process, where nothing was predetermined and every sound emerged as a response to the previous one. Moments like these reveal improvisation at its core: as a form of communication.
Set III: A Community of Sound
The culmination of the evening came with the third set, bringing all the artists together on stage:
-
Roberto Delira — lute
-
Isabel Anders — piano
-
Krzysztof Kasprzyk — saxophone, electronics
-
Łukasz Downar — bass, electronics
-
Agnieszka Gurczyńska — voice, electronics
The result was hypnotic and unpredictable. Electronic textures intertwined with the organic sound of the lute and the human voice, creating a constantly shifting sonic landscape. The music breathed, evolved, surprised — sometimes raw, sometimes delicate.
This was a one-time, premiere experience, created specifically for this evening, this space, and this audience. It was here that the idea of encounters beyond borders — cultural, stylistic, and linguistic — fully came to life.

The Third Ear Music | 19 September 2025
When Listening Becomes an Experience
On September 19, 2025, PHONOmatic Studio at the Centre for the Meeting of Cultures in Lublin transformed into a space of attentive listening, encounter, and sonic experimentation. That evening marked the return of The Third Ear Music series — a project that consistently proves that contemporary, improvised, and experimental music knows no geographical or aesthetic borders.
The new edition of the series consists of five concerts, bringing together artists from different countries and cultural backgrounds with musicians rooted in the Lublin scene. Not to present finished works, but to create together — here and now, in dialogue with the space, the audience, and each other.
From the very first sounds, it was clear that this would not be “just another concert,” but an immersive experience that would linger long after the final note.
