ÉxQuartet

ÉxQuartet is a string quartet consisting of exceptional musical personalities of the Szczecin Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra. The artists are graduates of different musical environments: Warsaw, Szczecin and Wrocław. The quartet consists of: 1st violin Monika Sawczuk, 2nd violin Łukasz Górewicz, viola Grzegorz Sadowski, cello Tomasz Szczęsny.

The ensemble conducts is active both in live performances and recordings. The musicians perform as chamber musicians, soloists and concertmasters, which gives them the opportunity to look at performance from a multi-faceted perspective. The effect of this is unique interpretations of literature for string quartet, creation of new forms of expression and undying emotional charge, which the audience is given at every concert.

In 2020, ÉxQuartet recorded their 3 debut albums NEW MUSIC FOR STRING QUARTET with contemporary music. These albums received the title of laureate of GLOBAL MUSIC AWARDS 2021. The next album "IV" was released by the Szczecin Philharmonic. In 2023, two more albums with contemporary music were added to the collection. The artists have performed at numerous festivals, including: Kwidzyn International Music Festival, International Organ Festival in Szczecin. They performed during the premiere of the Oscar-nominated film "Apolonia, Apolonia".

The quartet performed during the 6th True Musicians Tournament and inaugurated the opening of the Pilecki Institute in Berlin. They also won the title of vice-champion in the International Chamber Tournament in Bydgoszcz 2022. The ensemble also implements projects thanks to the support of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship. Since 2020, the musicians have been ambassadors for the innovative ConCarbo tailpieces.

As the artists themselves say: Meetings of cultures have a special meaning for us. We always strive to find elements of history, culture and social life that unite, not divide. Most importantly, we use a language that every guest will understand – music.
