about Maestro Award: At first, one may think that the work of Paderewski and Abakanowicz do not have anything in common. Still, the "Maestro Award" can be seen as a mystical bridge that connects two artistic worlds, the world of music and the world of sculpture. This is fascinating. For a composer it is much easier than it is for a sculptor to reach the audience these days. At the time of electronic inventions, one does not need to go to a music hall in order to hear the compositions of a genius. Sometimes it is just enough to buy a CD, turn on the radio or a computer. In the case of sculpture, especially concerning such a large project like Agora, in order to feel the chill of emotions one must literally step inside of it to be right in the middle. Sculpture loses with music in the battle for a receiver. All the more, this particular award, the "Maestro Award," has more meaning to me.
