The Jubilee 25th edition of the International Chamber Music Festival "Silesian Quartet and Its Guests" will be held between November 15-26, 2017 at the Karol Szymanowski Academy of Music in Katowice.
The Silesian String Quartet has been organising the Festival since 1993. It has a unique format – the audience is treated to chamber pieces for string quartet and other instruments, and hence also to guest soloists, who perform together with the musicians of the Silesian String Quartet. This year's edition main theme is "Replica and Polish piano quintets".
The Silesian String Quartet musicians (Szymon Krzeszowiec, Arkadiusz Kubica, Łukasz Syrnicki i Piotr Janosik) will perform along with eight pianists, including an outstanding promoter of Polish music in Great Britain, Jonathan Plowright. The programme of four concerts will festure works by such composers as Robert Schumann, Johannes Brahms, Antonín Dvořak, Grażyna Bacewicz, Ignacy Friedman, Juliusz Zarębski, Ludomir Różycki, Szymon Laks, Tadeusz Majerski.
