in Stravaganza way
Concert maintained in holding - attentionperformance style - involving various members of the orchestra to play solo parts, originally intended to be performed by only one soloist. Some parts may be performed in total darkness (one of the concerts is titled “La notte” - night).
The musicians also adapt their placement to the architecture of the concert venues, e.g. the ensemble is divided into two parts, with some musicians placed in less formal, less predictable spaces of the concert hall.
The performance takes advantage of the lights and placement of the musicians.

Soloist literature is
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer
unevenly divided among instruments.
Countless concertos for violin or piano, and only a few concertos for solo cello and orchestra are known to today’s public. And yet it is an instrument of unique depth of sound, singing and lyrical in every register, agile, rhythmic when needed! Two of the most important classical cello concertos come from Joseph Haydn. The virtuosity and artistry of the Italian phrases, combined with the classically stimulating motorics, ranked these compositions among the absolute canon of the literature of Viennese classicism. This repertoire, combined with the earliest Mozart symphonies, allows us to see the musical landscape of late 18th century Europe, just before the era of Beethoven. Impeccable classical structure, artful, touching Adagio and the exuberant energy of the fast movements were a recipe for success then and now.

„Bach is Bach, just as God is God...”
- Hector Berlioz is supposed to have said.
It's hard to disagree with this statement, the music of the Leipzig cantor is indeed timeless, universal and unique!
Bach cannot be mistaken with any other composer. If anyone doubts the continuing power of this „unfashionable” music, it is worth looking at the statistics of streaming services.

The wonderful thing about the music of the Bach family is that this music neither gets boring nor old, and is discovered by newer and newer generations every now and then. And weare convinced is that these compositions can be a perfect remedy for the fast-paced modern world around us. As a pure antidote to media hustle and digital overwhelm, this music can be considered just as a therapy to all of us.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart concertos and symphonies
The idea of perfoming Mozart symphonies few times every season, came from the National Frederic Chopin Institute in Warsaw, which has invited us to record the complete Symphonies.. Three symphonies have already been released and three more are awaiting release. The project, scheduled to be carried out until 2033, is woven into other numerous recordings of romantic and classical music being made by the {oh!} Orkiestra.

We met with Makoto Ozone in 2025 - and it was one of the extremely refreshing meetings. Our Mozart was different from all previous ones - the incredible musical understanding between the {oh!} musicians and being open to new experiences made it possible to achieve a unique creation together with the soloist. Some of us who play jazz on a daily basis got into a brilliant musical dialogue with Makoto; others blended in musical-jazz passages written especially for the occasion. In both Mozart's Jeunehomme concerto and Mozart's Symphonies, there is room for a different perspective, specially crafted for each new occasion. Mozart and Jazz are created anew, every time!

Incomparable genius whom the heavens envied the Earth
- Eugene Delacroix
That's how both Chopin and Mendelssohn can be described, although the quote refers to the Polish-French piano virtuoso Frederic Chopin. Mendelssohn and Chopin were contemporaries and passed away at similar age - two years one after another . Both composers impoverished a group of outstanding 19th century personalities. Rich in impressive achievements, extensive acquaintances and artistic ties with all those who built the musical culture of Europe in the first half of the 19th century.
Chopin / Mendelssohn piano concerto symphonies
Mendelssohn's contributions are unparalleled - for example, we owe to him the rediscovery of the J.S. Bach works to life!. He also composed a countless number of priceless works, marked by genius in both compositional and musical layers. The piano component of the program revolves around Chopin - an indefinable genius of his time. The best description of the feeling Chopin's music evokes in listeners are the words of Oscar Wilde:
„feel as if I had been weeping over sins that I had never committed and mourning over tragedies that were not my own”.
