Piotr Grella-Możejko has been very busy throughout the closing months of 2024 and in early 2025. On 3 October 2024, GRAleksandra II (Lo specchio della notte) for oboe and computer soundtrack was given its world premiere by the leading Polish virtuosa, Aleksandra Panasik. The performance took place in Gdańsk, Poland, as part of the prestigious experimental music series “New Music in the Old Town Hall”, curated by the distinguished composer, Dariusz Mazurowski. Later, the piece received multiple performance during dr Panasik’s tour in Alberta: on 16 October 2024 at the Augustana College, then on 22 October at the University of Lethbridge, and finally, on 25 October at The King’s University. On 26 October, also at The King’s University, Aleksandra, dr Charles Stolte (tenor sax) and Piotr (electronics) gave world premiere of another piece, Darg IV (Katharina Gruber) for 1-4 optional instruments and computer soundtrack.
