\nSinfonia Varsovia<\/strong>
\n272 Grochowska Str., Warsaw<\/strong><\/p>\n

The third edition of the Sinfonia Varsovia Chamber Music series is titled \u201cBeethoven\u2019s Mirror\u201d. To celebrate the great composer\u2019s 250th<\/sup> birthday, the Orchestra\u2019s musicians will perform some of Beethoven\u2019s lesser-known chamber works, set against music written his predecessors and successors. Each concert takes place in Sinfonia Varsovia\u2019s rehearsal hall and will be performed again in a centre of culture in Warsaw or in its vicinity (Within Reach). The first event will take place on 8 January.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sinfonia Varsovia Chamber Music<\/strong> is a series of concerts performed by the Orchestra\u2019s musicians, intended to familiarise listeners with music written for small ensembles from various periods in many styles. This year, the programme will consist of works written by Ludwig van Beethoven <\/strong>\u2013 showing the many facets of his chamber music \u2013 from sentimental salon pieces to challenging virtuoso works. Variations, serenades, sonatas for various instruments will reveal to us Beethoven\u2019s lesser-known works, as opposed to the composer\u2019s famous cycle of string quartets. The Bonn master\u2019s compositions will be set against a backdrop of works ranging from late baroque to the contemporary. Composers include Johann Friedrich Fasch, Giacomo Puccini, Maurice Ravel, Jean Cras <\/strong>and Krzysztof Pendereck<\/strong>i.<\/p>\n

The opening concert of the series takes place on 8 January <\/strong>in the home of Sinfonia Varsovia <\/strong>(repeated on 12.01. in the Praga Centre of Culture<\/strong>). The programme highlights Beethoven\u2019s musical inspirations, which included opera. Works performed include Variations in C major Variations on \u2018L\u00e0 ci darem la mano\u2019 <\/strong>for two oboes and English horn WoO 28 based on the aria from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart\u2019s Don Giovanni and the Trio in C major Op. 87 <\/strong>for two oboes and English horn. These compositions will be set against a late baroque work written for one of Beethoven\u2019s favourite instruments \u2013 the oboe. Johann Friedrich Fasch\u2019s<\/strong> Concerto in G major <\/strong>for oboe, two violins and basso continuo will be performed in a transcription for three oboes and piano.
\nThe performers will be Arkadiusz Krupa<\/strong> (oboe), Mateusz \u017burawski<\/strong> (oboe), Adam Szl\u0119zak<\/strong> (English horn, oboe) and pianist Karina Krupa<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

On 12 February<\/strong> (repeated on 20.02. in the Praga Po\u0142udnie Centre for Promotion of Culture<\/strong>) we will have an opportunity to hear a work heralding Beethoven\u2019s mature writing for string quartet. Published in 1799, the String Trio in C minor Op. 9<\/strong> is a four-part work from a collection considered at the time by the young (not yet 30 years old) composer to be his greatest achievement. Written in Beethoven\u2019s favourite key of C minor, the Trio<\/em> is an example of serious chamber music, in opposition to lighter works written for the salon. The programme will conclude with a composition considered to be a turning point in the output of Krzysztof Pendereck<\/strong>i \u2013 the Quartet for Clarinet and String Trio<\/strong> (2004), praised for its clarity of form and musical content.
\nThe works will be performed by Celina Kotz <\/strong>(violin), Adam Siebers<\/strong> (viola), Piotr Mazurek <\/strong>(cello) and Karol Sikora<\/strong> (clarinet).<\/p>\n

In March (11.03., \u201c\u015awit\u201d Centre of Culture<\/strong>, 18.03., Sinfonia Varsovia<\/strong> Rehearsal Hall), Beethoven\u2019s Serenade in D major for Flute, violin and viola Op. 25<\/strong> takes us to a typical salon environment, reflecting the tendency of the time to write chamber pieces of music for the instrument that was so popular among amateur musicians at court since the time of king of Prussia, Frederick the Great \u2013 namely the flute. Intended to be performed in the evening or at night in the open air, the serenade precedes works with an impressionist tint: Maurice Ravel\u2019s Introduction et Allegro for harp, flute and clarinet <\/strong>and Jean Cras\u2019 Quintet for harp, flute, violin, viola and cello<\/strong>.
\nThe performers are Andrzej Krzy\u017canowski <\/strong>(flute), Zuzanna Elster <\/strong>(harp), Adam Siebers<\/strong> (violin), Magdalena Lech<\/strong> (violin), Rados\u0142aw Soroka <\/strong>(clarinet), Katarzyna Budnik <\/strong>(viola) and Marcel Markowski<\/strong> (cello).<\/p>\n

The concert on 8 April <\/strong>(repeated on 23.04. in the Marki Centre of Culture<\/strong>) showcases the virtuoso aspect of Beethoven\u2019s chamber music. The concert features one of the most important violin sonatas ever written, dedicated for famous French violinist Rodolphe Kreutzer<\/strong> \u2013 the Sonata in A major Op. 47 \u201cKreutzer\u201d <\/strong>for violin and piano, transcribed for string quintet. This work was written in record time for the Afro-European court violinist of the Prince of Wales, George Polgreen Bridgetower, with whom the composer played the sonata at a concert in Augarten. The programme concludes with Giacomo Puccini\u2019s Elegy for string quartet \u201cChrysanthemums<\/strong>\u201d<\/em>. Like Beethoven\u2019s work, the Elegy<\/strong> was written in unusual circumstances. Dedicated for the composer\u2019s deceased friend, he work was written in a single night.
\nThe performers are Jakub Haufa<\/strong> (violin), Dominika Haufa<\/strong> (violin), Tomasz Rosi\u0144ski <\/strong>(viola), Katarzyna Drzewiecka-Szlachcikowska <\/strong>(cello) and Kamil Mysi\u0144ski <\/strong>(cello).<\/p>\n

\u201cBeethoven\u2019s Mirror\u201d <\/strong>concludes with the concert on 13 May<\/strong> (repeated on 14.05. in the Wola Centre of Culture<\/strong>), featuring lyrical music with voice and the Piano Trio in B-flat major <\/strong>WoO 39. This concert features Beethoven\u2019s music inspired by folk music.
\nSinfonia Varsovia\u2019s musicians \u2013 Kamil Staniczek <\/strong>(violin), Marcel Markowski<\/strong> (cello) will perform with pianist Wojciech Pyr\u0107 <\/strong>and singers of the Opera Academy of Teatr Wielki \u2013 the National Opera<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

All concerts in the Sinfonia Varsovia Chamber Music series begin at 7:00 p.m. in the Rehearsal Hall <\/strong>of the Orchestra\u2019s home. Every concert will also be repeated in a Centre of Culture in Warsaw or in its vicinity (Within Reach<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

There will also be brief introductions to the works about to be performed <\/strong>at each concert.  After the concert there will be an opportunity to meet the performers <\/strong>to find out about their work and to discuss the music performed on that evening.<\/p>\n

Tickets<\/strong> to the concerts in the series are priced at 5 z\u0142<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
