Jędrzejów, Pińczów, Bogoria | „With Classics through Poland” Ãtma Quartet

Z klasyka 19 4 24

On April 19-21, 2024, as part of the programme of the National Institute of Music and Dance "With classics through Poland", Ãtma Quartet (Aleksandra Kupczyk, Katarzyna Denkiewicz, Karalina Orsik, Andrzej Bauer) will perform in the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship: at the Przypkowskich Museum in Jędrzejów, in the Arian House - Regional Museum in Pińczów and in the Municipal Cultural Center in Bogoria.

The word "Ãtma" in Sanskrit and Hindu philosophy means soul, self, psyche. The name of the ensemble also refers to the Villa Atma by Karol Szymanowski, whose works are an important item in the quartet's repertoire. Ãtma Quartet was founded in 2016. Since its inception, it has been conducting intensive concert activities, popularizing chamber music, including Polish music, in the country and around the world.

Wrocław | Impressions for soprano and viola

Media patronage: Polish Music Information Centre POLMIC

It must have taken a lot of work for the unusual married duo of soprano and violist - Aleksandra Kubas-Kruk and Szymon Kruk - to find a suitable repertoire. It turns out, however, that in the 20th century, and then at the beginning of this century, composers created works for soprano and viola voices often enough for the artists to record the album Impressions (2022) together, without even having to rely on musical transcriptions. We will hear these works at the NFM on April 18, 2024 at 7 p.m.

The duo's concert at the National Forum of Music will open with the lullaby Gute Nacht by Paul Hindemith, which is the ending of the cantata titled Serenaden. The concert will close with Two Impressions - compositions dedicated to a married duet by the artist Leszek Wisłocki from Wrocław. They contain references to the folklore of Podhale, which has fascinated the creator since his youth.
