Rise and Fall is an immersive audiovisual performance exploring the fragile balance of nature through improvisational jazz and Indian classical music. Featuring voice, violin, tabla and guitar, the project weaves Polish and Indian folk influences into a spontaneous, evolving soundscape. Live botanical visuals — created from handpicked natural elements and analogue-digital processes — bloom and transform in dialogue with the music, creating a living ecosystem of sound and image. Each performance becomes a unique meditation on loss, renewal and transformation.

Karolina Beimcik Vocalist & Violinist
Karolina Beimcik is a vocalist, violinist and composer creating original music at the intersection of jazz, world music and poetic narrative. Her concerts do not tell stories directly — rather, they invite listeners into their own interpretations and inner journeys. Her music works through subtle dynamics, silence and tension, building a distinctive sonic narrative rooted in timbre and space. A graduate of Queens College in New York, she has shaped her artistic sensitivity through numerous international projects — from the USA and Japan (Expo 2025), through India and Mexico, to Australia and across Europe. She has collaborated with institutions such as Carnegie Hall – Weill Music Institute and Berklee College of Music – Global Music Institute, and in September 2025 presented her work at EXPO in Osaka. She is a two-time recipient of the Polish Minister of Culture Scholarship and a laureate of the City of Warsaw Artistic Scholarship.
