Through supplementary elections, the board of the Young Circle of the Polish Composers' Union for the years 2022-24 gained new people - Alina Dzięcioł and Monika Sroczyńska. Sylwia Nowastowska and Szymon Borys finished their work on the management board. The duties of the chairman of the Youth Circle will be performed by the current board member, Grzegorz Uran. Congratulations!

The Youth Circle operating within the Union was established in 1949. Its main goal is to train and prepare young composers, theoreticians and musicologists for membership in the organization and for creative participation in musical life. Many events promote young artists. Every year since 1969, the Management Board of the Youth Club has been organizing a concert as part of the events accompanying the "Warsaw Autumn".

"Polish Yearbook of Musicology", published by the Musicologists' Section of the Polish Composers' Union, invites you to its new website. The "Yearbook" publishes articles and messages in Polish and English on all musicological subdisciplines, including selected materials from the Musicological Conferences of the Polish Composers' Union.

 The "Polish Yearbook of Musicology" was established by Adolf Chybiński in 1935. Unfortunately, only two volumes were published at that time (the second in 1936). In 2004, after almost 70 years, on the initiative of the Musicologists' Section of the Polish Composers' Union, the third volume of the "Polish Yearbook of Musicology" was published, dedicated to the memory of the founders of Polish musicology, Professors Zdzisław Jachimecki and Adolf Chybiński.

Tansman Trio is currently working on a new album. Three award-winning artists will present works of Polish composers included on this album on the 19^th of February, 2024 at 7.30 p.m at NOSPR.

Roksana Kwaśnikowska, Agnieszka Podłucka and Zuzanna Sosnowska have already brought to light a number of compositions by Polish authors that were lost in the historical turmoil. And this is just the beginning of their activities! The programme of the February concert includes, among others: dense, colorful music by Roman Maciejewski, immersed in an extraordinary, fanciful sound world, and two compositions by the ensemble's patron - Aleksander Tansman.

Music lovers longing for chamber concerts and looking for beautiful sounds in the repertoire, although not necessarily the most popular and obvious ones, will probably be pleased by the presence of Mieczysław Wajnberg's String Trio in the programme.
