Description

Since winning the first prize at the ARD International Music Competition in 2008, the Apollon Musagète Quartet has become established as one of the leading string quartets in the European music scene. The young Polish musicians studied at the European Chamber Music Academy and received further formative guidance from the famous Alban Berg Quartet in Vienna.

Now, as part of a series of Polish music at the Elbphilharmonie, the quartet presents a programme of 20th and 21st century works. Of these, the earliest composition is Karol Szymanowski’s String Quartet No. 2 from 1927. The piece was inspired by folk music from the Carpathian Mountains.
