THE PEASANTS Multimedia Concert by L.U.C. & Rebel Babel Film Orchestra (6/10/2024 – 17h)
A unique music and video performance based on the feature film THE PEASANTS, Poland’s Oscar contender for 2024:
The eight-piece Rebel Babel Film Orchestra (RBFO), along with a VJ, conducted by the film’s composer Łukasz L.U.C. Rostkowski, will close this year’s SoundTrack_Zurich on Sunday, October 6th.
This multimedia spectacle, co-financed by the Polish National Foundation (Polska Fundacja Narodowa), combines painted visuals with the film’s remarkable music. It showcases Polish folk music on a global stage stemming from the tribes of Wielkopolska (Greater Poland), Małopolska (Lesser Poland), Mazury (Masuria), and Sieradz-Łęczyca, regions known for their distinct cultural heritage.
“We invite you to listen live to the most popular soundtrack in the history of Polish cinema with over 60 million streams and an international release by Milan Records“, says Łukasz L.U.C. Rostkowski.
