Royber Trio: Trzaska/Walicki/Moretti | film music concert

Trio ROYBER was formed by Mikołaj Trzaska, Macio Moretti and Ola Walicki, the musicians had the opportunity to meet a few years ago on the occasion of the reactivation of the group Łoskot. As a trio, they decided to create and tour in October 2020, when they played a concert for the first time at Elblag’s El Gallery. Rather, the members of the band do not need to be introduced more closely, for for years they have been “over-acting” with all their intensity to create a national musical universe, being pillars and at the same time progenitors in many projects. The band’s repertoire is mainly Trzaska’s film music, although recently there have been collaborative compositions of the group’s members, interspersed with flowery collective improvisations. They are currently at the stage of creating the repertoire that is the content of their first debut album.

The musicians will play their own compositions and film music that appears in Wojciech Smarzowski’s films and more.

Tickets can be purchased online or at the box office one hour before the event.
