This fall, the Karol Rathaus chamber music Festival<\/a><\/strong> returns with its second edition, spotlighting extraordinary works of emigrant composers who, like Karol Rathaus, forged new artistic paths. The festival will feature five concerts, highlighting nearly 20 composers whose music reflects a rich tapestry of cultural influences, artistic trends, and historical contexts. Audiences can also look forward to pieces by contemporary composers, including American artists who trace their creative lineage back to Rathaus\u2019s own educational heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chamber music festival celebrates Karol Rathaus<\/strong>, a prominent Polish composer of Jewish origin whose second homeland was the United State, and Queens College composers who have continued his legacy. Rathaus (1895\u20131954) was born in Tarnopol (now Ternopil in Ukraine) into a Polish-Jewish family. He was educated in Vienna and Berlin and studies with Franz Schreker. He taught composition in Berlin; when his compositions were classified as \u201cdegenerate art\u201d by the Nazis, he left Europe and eventually settled in Flushing, Queens in 1938, becoming the first professor of composition in the Music Department (now the Aaron Copland School of Music) of the newly-created Queens College of the City University of New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join us for a journey through fascinating life stories, a diversity of musical styles, and performances by some of the finest musicians in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The festival will feature five concerts, highlighting nearly 20 composers whose music reflects a rich tapestry of cultural influences, artistic trends, and historical contexts. Audiences can also look forward to pieces by contemporary composers, including American artists who trace their creative lineage back to Rathaus\u2019s own educational heritage.\\nThe chamber music festival celebrates Karol Rathaus, a prominent Polish composer of Jewish origin whose second homeland was the United State, and Queens College composers who have continued his legacy. Rathaus (1895\u20131954) was born in Tarnopol (now Ternopil in Ukraine) into a Polish-Jewish family. He was educated in Vienna and Berlin and studies with Franz Schreker. He taught composition in Berlin; when his compositions were classified as \u201cdegenerate art\u201d by the Nazis, he left Europe and eventually settled in Flushing, Queens in 1938, becoming the first professor of composition in the Music Department (now the Aaron Copland School of Music) of the newly-created Queens College of the City University of New York.\\nJoin us for a journey through fascinating life stories, a diversity of musical styles, and performances by some of the finest musicians in the world.\\nUrszula Kryger \u2013 mezzosoprano\\nBartosz Koziak \u2013 cello\\nPiotr R\u00f3\u017ca\u0144ski \u2013 piano\\nPiotr R\u00f3\u017ca\u0144ski graduated with distinction from the Academy of Music in Krak\u00f3w, majoring in piano (in the class of Ewa Bukojemska and Katarzyna Popowa-Zydro\u0144) and chamber music.
