Polish Radio Programme 2 invites you on February 16, 2019 at 7.00 p.m. to the Witold Lutosławski Concert Studio for the first concert of the Royal String Quartet with the new viola player Paweł Czarny.
Today, the Royal String Quartet is a world-recognized brand. 20 years of joint music-making, 17 internationally acclaimed records, six-time nominees and twice winners of the ‘Fryderyk’ award, concerts given on all continents and a loyal audience. What’s more, 15 years of the Kwartesencja festival, which brings together musicians who, in their ambitious undertaking, know no genre constraints. Technical precision, clarity of the musical form and impeccable style are the foundations, on which the Royal String Quartet have been building their reputation. The RSQ has become one of the leading ambassadors of the Polish culture.
The programme of their Warsaw concert will include: String Quartet No. 7 in F-sharp minor, Op. 108 by Dmitri Shostakovich, String Quartet in F major, Op. 96 by Antonín Dvořák, and String Quartet No. 4 by Grażyna Bacewicz, whose 110th birthday anniversary is celebrated this year.
