Auditorio de Tenerife and the Asociación Canario Polaca ARKA [Polish Spanish Association] present Leszek Możdżer on Sunday the 17th at 7:30 pm. Możdżer  is a distinguished Polish pianist, composer and producer who is bringing his show From Chopin to Komeda via jazz to the island. He is regarded as the greatest revelation in Polish jazz of the last decade. Thanks to his thorough classical training he feels free to improvise and so creates new musical landscapes to which he contributes timbre, eloquence and harmony of his own. The result is a subtle, often mystic atmosphere.

This concert has been organised by the Fundación Proyecto Perfecto and the Asociación ARKA and it is sponsored by Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Spain with funding from the Polish Foreign Affairs Ministry. Alliance Group, Cofila Asesores, and Memento Group collaborate with the show.

Dionizy Piątkowski, author of the Polish Jazz Encyclopaedia, says that "Leszek Możdżer [is] a distinguished pianist and composer who has managed to unleash a mental and stylistic revolution in Polish jazz that no other jazz player had ever achieved before ".

Tickets can be purchased at Auditorio de Tenerife box office from 10:00 am to 7:30 pm Monday to Saturday, and two hours before the concert; via the website www.auditoriodetenerife.com or by phone on 902 317 327.
