Apollon Musagete Quartett<\/strong>\u00a0
The\u00a0Apollon Musagete Quartet<\/strong>\u00a0was founded in Vienna in 2006 by four Poles:\u00a0Pawe\u0142 Zalejski<\/strong>\u00a0(violin),\u00a0Bartosz Zach\u0142od<\/strong>\u00a0(violin),\u00a0Piotr Szumiel<\/strong>\u00a0(viola) and\u00a0Piotr Skweres<\/strong>\u00a0(cello).\u00a0
The group\u2019s unusual name is an homage to a ballet by Igor Stravinsky dating from 1927\/28 in which the god Apollon dances with three muses who symbolise, in turn, poetry, rhetoric and dance. Taking their cue from this god and \u2018conductor of muses\u2019, the Apollon Musagete Quartet aims to bring together all art forms.\u00a0\u00a0
In 2008, the group\u2019s reputation was enhanced by the award of a first prize and three special prizes at the\u00a0Munich ARD International Music Competition<\/a>. This prize was yet another to add to an already impressive trophy cabinet, containing prizes won primarily in Austria and Italy, where they performed to great success. The group also played at London\u2019s Wigmore Hall and the Berlin Philharmonic Hall.
The group finds its musical inspiration not just in the works which it plays, but also in the many collaborators with whom it so enjoys playing. The musicians with whom the group has played to date include: Peter Cropper, Anner Bylsma, Giulano Carmignola and\u00a0 Ferenz Rados.
In Poland, the quartet has been aided by the award of a grant from the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage.
The first disc by the Apollon Musagete Quartet was released by OEHMS Classics in 2009. It includes works by Haydn, Szymanowski and Brahms.
The Appolon Musag\u00e8te Quartet has been given the honour of launching the\u00a0WITOLD LUTOS\u0141AWSKI YEAR<\/strong>\u00a02013<\/strong>\u00a0in Belgium with a performance of the Polish composer\u2019s\u00a0String quartet<\/em>\u00a0(this year marks one hundred years since Lutos\u0142awski\u2019s birth). As DeSingel points out, listening to Lutos\u0142awski\u2019s\u00a0String quartet<\/em>\u00a0is „an extraordinary experience, if only because the music is never the same from one version to the next. Indeed, Lutoslawski grants musicians such a degree of freedom in how they play the notes that the balance between the four instruments is different each time\u201d. Lending a special personal note to their tribute, the Apollon Musag\u00e8te Quartet has composed an original piece with the eloquent title\u00a0Multitude in memoriam W. Lutoslawski<\/em>.<\/strong>

This prize was yet another to add to an already impressive trophy cabinet, containing prizes won primarily in Austria and Italy, where they performed to great success. The group also played at London\u2019s Wigmore Hall and the Berlin Philharmonic Hall.The group finds its musical inspiration not just in the works which it plays, but also in the many collaborators with whom it so enjoys playing. The musicians with whom the group has played to date include: Peter Cropper, Anner Bylsma, Giulano Carmignola and\u00a0 Ferenz Rados.In Poland, the quartet has been aided by the award of a grant from the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage.The first disc by the Apollon Musagete Quartet was released by OEHMS Classics in 2009. It includes works by Haydn, Szymanowski and Brahms.The Appolon Musag\u00e8te Quartet has been given the honour of launching the\u00a0WITOLD LUTOS\u0141AWSKI YEAR\u00a02013\u00a0in Belgium with a performance of the Polish composer\u2019s\u00a0String quartet\u00a0(this year marks one hundred years since Lutos\u0142awski\u2019s birth). As DeSingel points out, listening to Lutos\u0142awski\u2019s\u00a0String quartet\u00a0is \"an extraordinary experience, if only because the music is never the same from one version to the next. Indeed, Lutoslawski grants musicians such a degree of freedom in how they play the notes that the balance between the four instruments is different each time\u201d. Lending a special personal note to their tribute, the Apollon Musag\u00e8te Quartet has composed an original piece with the eloquent title\u00a0Multitude in memoriam W. Lutoslawski.+++\u00a0www.apollon-musagete.com"},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"pl-PL","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/en\/2017\/04\/24\/apollon-musagete-quartett\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/05\/99990fr-9.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/05\/99990fr-9.jpg","width":572,"height":393,"caption":"Apollon Musag\u00e8te Quartett \u00a9 Nikolai Lund"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/en\/2017\/04\/24\/apollon-musagete-quartett\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Apollon Musagete Quartett"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/#website","url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/","name":"Instytut Polski w Brukseli","description":"Instytuty Polskie","potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"pl-PL"},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/#\/schema\/person\/ccb27e6f37dc023e9a8d394b9bc37c18","name":"dyjakn","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"pl-PL","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/8275a451988be0ae9a525d2a55b644f7?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/8275a451988be0ae9a525d2a55b644f7?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"dyjakn"},"url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/author\/dyjakn\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3178","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/127"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3178"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3178\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3179,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3178\/revisions\/3179"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3176"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3178"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3178"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3178"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
