Karłowicz Quartet I Philharmonics play chamber [CANCELED]

In the new artistic season, we spend Sunday noon at the Philharmonic with our families, at intimate meetings with musicians of the Philharmonic in Szczecin. It is a proposal that will allow you to spend a day together in our beautiful interiors. Everyone will find something for themselves regardless of age. Active music workshops await the youngest music lovers in the Clef Longue, while their carers take part in a chamber concert. Then visiting the Level 4 Gallery and having a family dinner at Cafe Symfonia is an option.

The program of the chamber concert is going east, so it's worth starting with Tsarina Catherine, who was born in Szczecin. She did not have good hearing, yet she organized and listened to many concerts. Once she was supposed to confide: "When the soloist is playing, I know that one should clap when he is finished. But the quartets confuse me. I am afraid that I may start clapping at the wrong time. So please let me know when to do it. " As you can see, concert traditions of quartets are a really rich world. Literally – because for many years it was the domain of aristocracy only, and figuratively – they became virtuoso pieces often for four soloists.

Borodin Quartet is a piece written under the influence of the composer's great love for his wife. Aleksandr is depicted in the cello sound, and Ekaterina – in the first violin.
The Szostakowicz quartet is already marked by emotions thanks to his visit to Dresden, destroyed during World War II. This shows how far the form of the string quartet has gone – from entertainment to an independent musical form.
