Amerykański neurolog i pisarz Oliver Sacks w książce „Muzykofilia. Opowieści o muzyce i mózgu” (bardzo ciekawej – polecam!) napisał: „Są ludzie, u których wrażenia jednego zmysłu stale i automatycznie uruchamiają wrażenia innych zmysłów”. Stąd zapewne artyści malarze, wyjątkowo wrażliwi na piękno, tak często czerpią inspirację z muzyki. Jak Wojciech Siudmak, którego rysunki – nieco szalone, bajkowe, pełne nieznanych fantastycznych bohaterów – można właśnie obejrzeć w Willi Lentza. To prace zainspirowane muzyką Fryderyka Chopina, a dokładniej nokturnami genialnego kompozytora.

We are proud to announce that Professor Katarzyna Dondalska, the creator of the series presenting young vocal talents at the Lentz Villa, received on Friday, June 24 2022, a Westpomeranian Nobel 2021, awarded by the Jury of the Competition in the field of ARTISTIC SCIENCES.

Congratulations!

On Saturday, June 25, the "Sacrum Non Profanum" International Music Festival was inaugurated at the Lentz Villa. During the concert, accordionist Jarosław Buczkowski performed his own pieces, compositions by Astor Piazolla and jazz standards. Moreover, the film by Leszek Szopa entitled Dziesięciu Wspaniałych, in which the artist recalled the profiles of the festival's patrons, including Krzysztof Penderecki, Wojciech Kilar, Andrzej Panufnik and Henryk Mikołaj Górecki.

On Friday, June 24, 2022, the opening of Wojciech Siudmak's exhibition entitled "Nocturnes – Hommage à Chopin" took place. The artist, who honoured the Szczecin residence with his presence, stated that the achievements of the great composer had inspired him for years. Since 2009 he has been working on the series of paintings presented in the villa, which are a free interpretation of Chopin's nocturnes. A recital by the pianist Sławomir Wilk perfectly complemented the exhibition. As always, the musician delighted the audience with the interpretation of the master's work from Żelazowa Wola. The exhibition, curated by Dorota Pieńkos, is open until October 30, 2022.

On the occasion of Father's Day, we offer everyone (not only Fathers) an individual tour of the Szczecin villa. In addition to our interiors, guests will be able to see the Timm Stutz exhibition – HUMAN | SPACE (Gallery in the attic) and the permanent exhibition – HISTORY (A)NEW (Gallery in the basement).

High teas, dance clubs, discos and finally balls – the dictionary of synonyms gives different words for almost the same thing: the possibility of "stomping your feet"; almost because each of these terms has extra weight.

We are pleased to announce the mapping of the Lentz Villa entitled 1888. The Illusion of Time, which had its premiere on June 11, 2021, during the inauguration of our new cultural institution in Szczecin, was nominated and awarded in the POLISH GRAPHIC DESIGN AWARDS competition for the best mapping animation of 2021!

On Sunday, June 5, a concert within the CULTURE ICONS series took place for the first time at the Lentz Villa. The interest in the recital with the hits of the brilliant Edith Piaf was so enormous that the performance of Sylwia Różycka quickly sold out. The artist played the role of the most famous French singer of the 20th century. That is why a decision was made to organise an additional concert, thus ensuring that a large group of French song lovers would participate in a unique, magical evening.

On Saturday, June 4, two events took place at the Lentz Villa: the opening of the Timm Stütz'sphoto exhibition and a jazz concert with the participation of Leszek Zaleski and Dawid Troczewski.

On Friday, June 3, two musical meetings were organised at the Lentz Villa, presenting young performers from Szczecin who reminded the audience of popular hits in recent years.
