The Silesian String Quartet is an ensemble which has existed for nearly 45 years – it was first founded in 1978 by the graduates of the Karol Szymanowski Academy of Music in Katowice Poland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In that time it has premiered over 100 works by Polish and foreign composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its repertoire consists of over 400 chamber pieces, with around 300 of them representing works from the musical canon of the 20th and 21st-centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
