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. 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), and we are delighted to welcome them back to Leamington after far too long a gap. Concert generously supported by the Polish Cultural Institute London.
