Stefan Wesołowski - Song of the Night Mists: Live Organ Session

On March 17, Polish composer Stefan Wesołowski presents Song of the Night Mists in a rare Live Organ Session inside the historic First Unitarian Congregation of Brooklyn.
Performed on violin, piano, synthesizers, live electronics, and pipe organ (with Piotr Wesołowski on organ), this configuration expands the album into a spatial composition shaped by resonance, sustained harmonic pressure, and architectural sound.
Wesołowski has emerged as one of the strongest voices in the new European post-classical generation - a composer working with formal discipline and emotional austerity. His music stands in dialogue with the lineage of Ryuichi Sakamoto, Jóhann Jóhannsson, and Krzysztof Penderecki, extending that tradition into a darker, slower, and more texturally focused territory.
His works have been performed by the National Philharmonic in Warsaw, Aukso Orchestra, Szczecin Philharmonic Orchestra and by Orquesta Sinfónica de Entre Ríos in Argentina, positioning him firmly within contemporary composition rather than the ambient periphery.
He has composed for cinema, including the feature film "Wolf" (Focus Features) starring Lily-Rose Depp and George MacKay or BAFTA-nominated documentary "Listen to me Marlon" (Universal), placing him squarely within the global conversation between contemporary composition and film scoring.
Critics have written:
"Horribly satisfying!” - UNCUT
“An ambitious work with an almost apocalyptic flavor, touching on the most important matters.” - New Music
“Music that mixes influences such as Prokofiev, Gregorian chants, Steve Reich or even Michael Mann.” - Vice
This Live Organ Session expands Song of the Night Mists into a spatial and physical experience. Sustained organ harmonics unfold against piano resonance and analog synthesis, creating slow-moving structures that feel monumental rather than decorative.

Piotr Wesołowski - pipe organ
This is not ambient as background.
It is contemporary composition performed at full depth.
For those attuned to the late works of Sakamoto, the stark emotional architecture of Jóhann Jóhannsson, or the textural radicalism of Penderecki - this is not a peripheral event. It is a composer at a decisive moment in his trajectory.
Seated performance.
Limited capacity.
