Hanna Kulenty, a Polish-Dutch composer, is the author of more than a hundred compositions (solo, chamber music, symphonies, opera, theater and film). Her works have been performed on all continents and she taught at many music institutions (Poland, USA, Canada, Great Britain, Denmark, Netherlands, Germany, Spain, and Lithuania). In 1990 she was a guest composer of the DAAD in Berlin and now is a professor in Bydgoszcz, Poland. She is the laureate of many awards, incl. the first place in the 50th International Tribune of UNESCO Composers and Mozart Medal from UNESCO International Music Council for the First Concerto for Trumpet and Orchestra (2003).
Kulenty's first book "Odwrocony Dom" /"The Upside-Down House" consists of two parts and this is the second part of the surrealist novel. Initially, it was the composer's attempt to quickly record a collection of strange dreams and visions. She added facts from her life, philosophical thoughts and fantasies. Is it surrealism or realism? ... The "Odwrocony Dom" is inverted or reflected in the mirror - as in an image by Magritte.
