Reed trio Reed Connection
is a joint initiative of the soloists of the T. Baird Zielona Góra Philharmonic. The main reason for forming the band was the desire to make music together and promote Polish and world music. The band has performed at numerous festivals and concerts in Poland and abroad (Austria, Denmark, Germany). The Artists' Association "Zdolni do Wszystkiego" (Capable of Everything), founded by the band members, facilitates a wide range of projects – from educational projects, through concerts dedicated to the music of individual nations (German, Italian, French, Polish), to the presentation of contemporary compositions by Polish composers. In 2020, the band released their album, "Smaki Paryża" (Flavors of Paris).
