The concert will take place on October 22 at Bogazici University’s Albert Long Hall, starting at 19:30. The programme includes pieces by Haydn, Szymanowski and Schubert. The Apollon Musagète Quartett was founded in 2006 by four Polish musicians: violinists Paweł Zalejski and Bartosz Zachłod, violist Piotr Szumieł and cellist Piotr Skweres.
The members of the quartet graduated from the University of Music in Warsaw, Poland, however the four of them met in Vienna – a city where a vast part of the string quartet’s repertoire was written. Their repertoire is varied – the quartet plays pieces from the 16th century as well as compositions written especially for them. Also, the Apollon Musagète Quartett recorded an album with Tori Amos – each song was a variation on works by the most significant composers such as Chopin, Bach, Debussy and Schubert.
Another concert in the prestigious series at the Bogazici University, features pianist Mateusz Borowiak, on 05 November.
