Dear Friends, I’m very glad to inform you that the soundtrack for Valley of Shadows will appear on CD. Caldera Records is releasing it at the beginning of December in most of Europe, USA, Canada and Japan. You can find more information here: http://caldera-records.com/portfolio/valley-of-shadows/ Best regards, Zbigniew Preisner —

Moi Drodzy, Mam nadzieję, że spotkamy się na koncertach moich kolęd. Cieszę się, że mogę dla Was grać. Do zobaczenia Zbigniew Preisner

Dear Friends, Please watch this clip from my concert in Haifa, Thank you again to Pnina Blayer for making this concert happen. Best regards, Zbigniew

Moi Drodzy, dzisiaj w programie World of Dance emitowanym na Polsacie jedna z tańczących par –nazwiska pomijam, bo nie chcę im robić reklamy- wykorzystała fragment Kolędy warszawskiej do swojego „tańca“. Oświadczam, że nie miałem z tym skandalem nic wspólnego. Moja kompozycja do tekstu Stanisława Balińskiego, który opisał upadek Warszawy w 1939r., została wykorzystana bez mojej wiedzy. Przypominam fragmenty wiersza, który jednocześnie jest tekstem Kolędy warszawskiej: „O Matko odłóż dzień narodzenia, Na inny czas, Niechaj nie widzą oczy stworzenia, Jak gnębią nas. (…) Bo nasze dzieci pod szrapnelami, Padły bez tchu, O święta Mario, módl się za nami, Lecz nie chodź tu.” To jest populistyczny skandal, który nie mieści się w mojej wyobraźni. To taniec na grobach setek tysięcy ludzi, taniec na ruinach Warszawy. Zbigniew Preisner

Dear Friends, Many of you ask frequently about my concerts, I have two upcoming on November 3rd and 4th in Megaron Concert Hall Athens. Hope to see you there. Here is a link for the tickets: https://webtics.megaron.gr/en/events/?eventid=2184

My dear audience in Haifa, Thank you very much for attending the concert yesterday. We had a fantastic reception during the concert and after it. I was very moved by all your kind words. I want to say thank you to everyone who worked on the concert and to those who performed: the singers of the Israeli Opera Choir with their chorus master Ethan Schmeisser, as well as Edyta Krzemień and Konrad Mastyło. Also, a thank you to Yaron, Mira, Sharona, Natalie, and Mia. A special thanks to the Director of Haifa Film Festival Pnina Blayer for the invitation to that fantastic festival. I’m honoured to have received such a great award and getting the chance to make that concert despite all fake news published in Poland. Once again, thank you everybody. See you, shalom. Zbigniew Preisner

Informations from Polish television that the concert is cancelled are not true. Concert will take place at 20:30, tickets are sold out.

Best regards from warm Haifa. If you want please read today’s Jerusalem Post.

Thank you to Haifa International Film Festival and its director Pnina Blayer for that very prestigious award. I invite you for the meeting about film music on 27th and for the concert on 29th.

Panie Ambasadorze, Bardzo dziękuję za wspaniałą reklamę, Zbigniew Preisner

Dear Friends, I confirm the words of Polish Ambassador in Israel that I didn’t want to meet him or the director of Polish Institute as he wrote in his letter that he published in the internet. I also confirm, the concert will happen despite the information that the institute revoked financing. I never asked any Polish institution for financial support. See you during the concert. Zbigniew Preisner

Dear Friends, I invite you to the next concerts of my film and non-film music that will take place on November 3rd and 4th in Megaron Concert Hall in Athens. These concerts will be exceptional because of soloists who are going to appear on one stage: the legend of Greek music Maria Farantouri, my friend and voice of Dead Can Dance Lisa Gerrard and young talented Polish soprano Edyta Krzemień. I come to Athens always with pleasure. I hope to see you there. Best regards Zbigniew Preisner

Dear Friends I support campaign #EuropeForCreators. If we artists lose that battle, you as an audience will be poorer in experiencing art because there will be less and less music on the market, nobody will invest in something that doesn’t bring profits. Just one example: Spotify, Youtube pay about 0,001845 euro for one stream, so 1 million streams give 1845 euro! The law we are fighting for has nothing to do with access to the internet. It is a matter of fair fees for artists that should be paid by internet giants who using our art build their financial positions. We have the right for decent life from our creativity.

Dear Friends, I am glad to inform you that I accepted invitation for 34th Haifa International Film Festival | פסטיבל הסרטים הבינלאומי חיפה that takes place between September 22nd and October 1st.

The music will be performed by Edyta Krzemień (soprano), Konrad Mastyło (piano) and Singers of the Israeli Opera Choir. All details can be found here: https://www.haifaff.co.il/eng/Events/4501/Preisner���s_Music_Chamber_Concert_for_Soprano%2C_Choir_and_Piano Best regards Zbigniew Preisner
