The Warsaw Branch of the Association of Polish Artists Musicians invites you on 2 April 2018 at 4.00 p.m. to the Museum in Nieborów and Arkadia for the premiere of Polish Piano Quintet by Weronika Ratusińska-Zamuszko.
Continuing the tradition of classical works inspired by Polish culture (such as the works of Juliusz Zarębski, Karol Szymanowski, Grażyna Bacewicz and other great Polish composers), Weronika Ratusińska reinterprets the rhythm of Polish folk dances in her Polish piano quintet. The intimate character of ther piece enables to concentrate on the color of solo instruments, as well as their mutual interaction and textural game. The quintet consists of three parts. The first one has a rondo form with rhythmically active choruses and variable couplets of a more static nature; the second part is a slow one, maintained in the ABA form; the third part is a playful scherzo. In terms of aesthetics and stylistics, the composition refers to the achievements of repetitive music as well as neoclassicism and neotonality.
Nostadema String Quartet along with pianist Wojciech Świętoński will present string quintets by Paweł Łukaszewski and Bartosz Kowalski and will premiere the mentioned piano quintet by Weronika Ratusińka-Zamuszko.
The composition was commisioned by the Warsaw Branch of the Association of Polish Artists Musicians as part of the "Collections" program – the priority of "Composition Commissions", implemented by the Institute of Music and Dance.
Admission to the concert is free.
The program will also be presented on 6 Aprli at 7.30 p.m. in the MOK hall in Legionowo and on 8 April at 5.00 p.m. in the concert hall of the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music.
