COLORIAGE is an instrumental quartet formed in 2005 by Marcin Wyrostek, Mateusz Adamczyk and Piotr Zaufal.
Their style is characterised by the combination of folk music with the possibilities of jazz improvisation. Krzysztof Nowakowski adds a set of percussion instruments to the ethnic sound of the project.
The word ‘coloriage’ means to colour, to paint. This is exactly the character of this ensemble – bravura, full of emotion, colourful.
In 2011, the album “Marcin Wyrostek Coloriage” was released, which was awarded DOUBLE PLATINUM and also won Empik’s Bestseller 2012 award.
The concert in the Cavatina Hall will be graced by the wonderful Kasia Moś.
