Two great artists from the Polish school of composition wrote chamber music with passion. The 3rd String Quartets by Henryk Mikołaj Górecki and Krzysztof Penderecki, who would celebrate their 90th birthday in 2023, will be presented at NOSPR on the 7th of December at 19.30 by Beata Orzutek (violin), Aleksander Daszkiewicz (violin), Martyna Dziechciarz (viola) and Natalia Kurzac-Kotula (cello).
Vladimir Khlebnikov's quatrain ending with the words "When people die - they sing songs" became the motto of Górecki's Third Quartet "...songs sing", directing attention to ultimate matters. After the premiere of the work, Bohdan Pociej in "Tygodnik Powszechny" called it a "Quartet of mourning songs".
