During the concert in Wrocław on the 13th of October, 2022 pieces from the canon of the most important compositions of chamber music will be performed at 7.00 p.m. with the participation of the German cellist Julius Berger and the Lutosławski Quartet. In the Red Room of the National Forum of Music, Paweł Mykietyn's String Quartet No. 2 and Franz Schubert's famous String Quintet in C major D 956 will be performed.
Paweł Mykietyn's String Quartet No. 2 was commissioned in 2006 by the Polish Music Festival, during which the work was performed by the artists of the Kronos Quartet. In a composition full of intriguing microtone sounds, Mykietyn confronts subtle harmonies with the raw aura created by the sound of harmonics, which make the piece extremely interesting in reception.
The String quintet in C major by Franz Schubert is the last chamber piece by this composer, completed in the fall of 1828. The work is often called a ‘cello quintet’ because of the second cello in the score.Informacja prasowa organizatorów
