Songs of the Wandering Journeyman – 29th Chamber Music Festival EVENINGS IN THE ARSENAL named after Jan Staniendy

Royal String Quartet is regarded as one of Poland's finest chamber ensembles. Its performance alone can be considered a draw for even the most discerning listeners, but it will be even better: the ensemble will be joined by acclaimed composer and vocalist Agata Zubel in the beautiful songs of Gustav Mahler. The programme features the romanticism of Schubert and Mahler alongside a touch of modernist flair in works by Szymanowski and Webern.

Programme: Anton Webern – Langsamer Satz, Karol Szymanowski – Kurpian Songs op. 58 (arranged for string quartet: RSQ), Franz Schubert – Quartettsatz c-moll, D.703, Gustav Mahler – Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen [Songs of the Wandering Journeyman] (arranged for voice and string quartet: Paulina Czarny)

Performers: Royal String Quartet, Agata Zubel – soprano
