"Forgotten Music" is the theme of the fourth edition of the Rzeszów Music Autumn Festival, which will be devoted to chamber music, both its masterpieces and forgotten treasures. The festival will run from 3 to 25 October 2020.
The Rzeszów Music Autumn shows musical and cultural diversity, the criss-crossing of various influences. The multicultural character of the city and the region contributes to the uniqueness of the Festival. This year, the Association of Polish Chamber Musicians organises 6 concerts of various chamber music ensembles and its Kraków branch prepares two concerts. We will hear, among others, rarely performed works by Stanisław Moniuszko, Mieczysław Weinberg, Władysław Żeleński, Grzegorz Fitelberg, Aleksander Tansman, Michał Spisak, Stefan Kisielewski, Witold Lutosławski, Grażyna Bacewicz, Romuald Twardowski and Paweł Szymański.
Among the performers, there will be great instrumentalists: Anna Maria Staśkiewicz and Joanna Konarzewska (violin), Katarzyna Budnik (viola), Marcin Zdunik and Rafał Kwiatkowski (cello), Maksymilian Lipień (oboe), Piotr Lato (clarinet), Damian Lipień (bassoon), Marta Gidaszewska and Robet Łaguniak as Polish Violin Duo (winners of the last year's International Polish Music Competition), Magdalena Molendowska (soprano), Julia Samojło, Jacek Tosik-Warszawiak and Grzegorz Mania (piano). The inaugural and one of the special concerts will be performed by the Extra Sounds Ensemble chamber orchestra under the direction of Alicja Śmietana. The second special concert will feature a string sextet performing an original arrangement of W.A.Mozart’s Requiem.
Admission to all events is free.
