Hashtag Ensemble
Hashtag Ensemble is a music cooperative specializing in contemporary music, improvisation and musical education, established by flutist Ania Karpowicz in 2013.
Hashtag Ensemble operates by creating egalitarian structures based on multi-layered activities of its members and by buliding programmes based on legible and usually non-musical contexts. An important element of the group’s concert practice is support and presentation of artistic achievements of women – since its beginning the group has cooperated with multiple female Composers and Artists.Intervention operations, concerts in the backyards of Warsaw townhouses (as part of the Warszemuzik festival) or on the street (e.g. Workers Union by L. Andriessen performed with Warsaw residents at Na Rozdrożu Square) are the foundation of Hashtag Ensemble rooting in locality and integration with small communities.
The group has been invited by European festivals and institutions, such as Warsaw Autumn, Sacrum Profanum, Intersonanzen, Sinfonia Varsovia, POLIN Music Festival, Tallin Afekt Festival, Poznań Music Spring, Musica Electronica Nova, Music Gardens, Warsaw Music Encounters and other.
Rafał Zapała does not recognize any boundaries between music acquired through academic education, experience of the counterculture and collaborating with artists from other fields of art. His music was presented at contemporary music festivals, jazz clubs, experimental music venues and open, public spaces.
Graduated: composition (MA, PhD, habilitation) and conducting (MA).
Masterclasses: K.Stockhausen Concerts and Courses, Acanthes Courses (with IRCAM, T.Murail and B.Furrer), Darmstadt Summer Courses, workshop with Pauline Oliveros, Alvin Lucier (STEIM Amsterdam), Z. Karkowski and other.
Artist-in-residence at Stanford University–CCRMA, Culture Center „Zamek”, Swiętokrzyska Philharmonic (2014/2015), ZK/U Berlin ( 2016/17), Vertigo STARTS (2019) and other.
