Anna Gadt
She is not an easy artist to describe. Her characteristic features may actually seem contradictory: gentleness, restless soul, mystery, sensitivity, as well as a strong personality and a sense of humour. In her music, Slavic origins interlace with European inspirations. Improvised music is what fascitates her most. In her music, she oscillates in an intriguing way between singing, whispering and talking. In inprovisation, she’s not afraid to use her voice in an unusual way.
Gadt a singing musician who expresses herself by means of the word, sound and silence. As a composer, she perceives silence not only as a kind of the musical rest, but, first of all, as the key moment when performing the intellectual work. The depth of voice and excellent technique enable her to search for the rare sound. The expression of performance and the emotional message are the main goals of her sound explorations.
She recorded 5 albums, the debut brought her a Fryderyk nomination in the Best Debut Jazz Album category.
She was singing in the prestigious concert halls in Poland (Teatr Wielki, Agnieszka Osiecka Studio, Congress Hall), she performed also in Germany, Switzerland, Latvia, Ukraine and Montenegro.
