"The Lovers’ Garden" is the recipient of the 1st prize at the 2010-2011 Muzyka Ogrodowa International Composition Competition held in Krakow/Wroclaw, Poland. It was composed in 2010 at Maria Knapik’s suggestion and is dedicated to her. This atmospheric piece, in which the soprano singer vocalises melodic lines without a text, depicts the secret encounter of two lovers in a public garden on a beautiful summer day. On January 14, Ms. Knapik will perform this composition for the first time.
