On the Master's 90^th birthday, the performers of the accompanying concert as part of the Krzysztof Penderecki Festival will take the audience to Nowa Miodowa on the 23^rd of November, 2023 at 5:00 p.m. - a reflective journey through the most beautiful and subtle chamber works of Krzysztof Penderecki.

The first part of the concert will feature the Quartet for clarinet and string trio from 1993, as well as the String Quartet No. 3, "Pages from an Unwritten Diary", created 15 years later. This work is a sublime musical reflection full of references to tradition and self-quotes from the works closest to the composer's heart.

The second part of the concert will feature a masterpiece of classical chamber music - Clarinet Quintet in A major by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
