Royal String Quartet Concert in Leamington Spa

The Royal String Quartet make their return to Leamington with a concert of works by Mozart, Bacewicz and Brahms. Supported by the Polish Cultural Institute in London.

16th January, 19:30 – 21:30 , Holy Trinity Church Leamington

After 25 years of joint music-making, 20 internationally acclaimed records, being six-time nominees and twice winners of the ‘Fryderyk’ award, and concerts given on all continents and a loyal audience, the Royal String Quartet from Poland is a world-recognized ensemble comprised of Izabella Szałaj-Zimak and Elwira Przybyłowska violins, Paulenne Czarny viola, and Michał Pepol cello

Witnessing their exuberance, artistic ingenuity, penchant for exploration, and openness to new challenges, it is hard to believe they have been performing together for so many years.

In the quartet’s interpretations critics find a multitude of “vivid textures and colours, supported by the insightful knowledge of the musical construction” (BBC Music Magazine). Their interpretations are “confident and energetic, characterized by a vast array of dynamics and timbres, with carefully planned, surprising twists” (Gramophone).

Mozart    String Quartet No. 13 in D minor, K173
Grażyna Bacewicz  String Quartet No. 4
