The next concert in the cycle "Polish music too little known", featuring Polish Cello Quartet, will take place on 8 April 2018 at 6.00 p.m. at the headquarters of the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra.
Polish Cello Quartet was established in 2011 on the initiative of Tomasz Daroch, Wojciech Fudala, Krzysztof Karpety and Adam Krzeszowiec. The artists decided to form a chamber ensemble to show the public the original sound of the cello quartet. PCQ musicians had the honor to learn from leading cellists and pedagogues in Poland (Paweł Głombik, Stanisław Firlej) and abroad (Frans Helmerson, Gary Hoffman, Michael Flaksman, Jelena Očić, Julius Berger, Jeroen Reuling). They gained artistic experience in renowned cultural centers in Europe, including Cologne, Mannheim and Brussels. Each member has numerous prizes in cello and chamber music competitions. The band performs regularly at international music festivals such as Wratislavia Cantans, Internationaal Kamermuziekfestival Schiermonnikoog, Q'arto Mondi, Jazztopad. It collaborated with many outstanding classical and jazz musicians, including Gary Hoffman, Jadwiga Rappé, Dominik Połoński, Tony Malabi and Nat Wooley. In 2014, the Polish Cello Quartet became one of the ensembles of the National Forum of Music.
This unique chamber ensemble, composed of four outstanding young cellists, will perform Deux mouvements for four cellos by Aleksander Tansman, Quartetto per quattro violoncelli by Piotr Moss, Ballade and Rapsody for four cellos by Kazimierz Wiłkomirski and sculpture (from the way of the cross) for 4 prepared cellos by Artur Zagajewski.
