Krzysztof Penderecki Academy of Music will welcome calendar spring (21 March) with a truly spring-like event: the 8th Krakow Cello Spring. In 2021, the festival will be held online.
The event organised annually by the Cello and Double Bass Department has gained a significant position and a group of fans over the years. This year, the concerts will be presented on the "Online Academy" website of the Academy of Music in Krakow.
This year's programme includes four concerts: "Solo and Chamber Music", "Great Romantic Concertos", "1900/1901" and "Only Cello – Violoncelles, vibrez!". The special guest of the 8th edition will be an excellent German cellist, professor and vice-chancellor of the Hochschule für Musik Detmold, Alexander Gebert. We will hear, among others, Recitatives and Ariosos "Lerchenmusik", Op. 53 by Henryk Mikołaj Górecki, Sonata in A major for piano and cello, Op. 18 by Zygmunt Stojowski, Deux mouvements by Alexandre Tansman, Agnus Dei for eight cellos by Krzysztof Penderecki and Orawa by Wojciech Kilar.
