Tercet Imperial

An extraordinary lineup featuring the multi-instrumentalists Piotr Zabrodzki and Jan Emil Młynarski alongside singer Joanna Sztuczka take on Polish music, from the Oberek and Mazurka to forgotten wedding songs. Their original renditions of traditional melodies combined with electronic sounds and music from Africa and India at the 26th New Tradition Polish Radio Folk Festival won them the well-deserved grand prize. The time has come for alternative audiences to discover their creative prowess. “Captured within this tradition and these instruments is an enchanted emotional charge,” they explain. Anyone who’s had the opportunity to hear their music live will tell you it’s “off the charts, ingenious in its observations and executions.” Spread the news far and wide: Tercet Imperial is playing the OFF Festival this year.
