The Karol Lipiński Academy of Music in Wrocław, the Wrocław Chamber Players and the National Forum of Music invite you to the final concert of the Wrocław Chamber Players Forum on the 21^st of April 2024 at 12.30 p.m. at the NFM. Piotr Sałajczyk, Szymon Krzeszowiec and Arkadiusz Dobrowolski, or the Wajnberg Trio, will present youthful works of the great composers Andrzej Panufnik and Erich Korngold.

The Piano Trio Op. 1 was composed by the only nineteen-year-old Panufnik in 1934. After the Second World War, the composer reconstructed from memory the score of this romantic style work, which was burnt down in composer’s Warsaw flat during the Warsaw Uprising. This was Panufnik's first major compositional achievement: the Warsaw Conservatory student Mieczysław Wajnberg participated in the premiere of the Trio in 1936.
