Concert programme

The evening’s programme includes three works, among them two string quartets arranged by Gustav Mahler. Mahler’s name therefore appears in the programme both as the author of one item and as the arranger of the other two.

The announced repertoire includes the following items:

  • Adagietto from Symphony No. 5 by Gustav Mahler,
  • String Quartet No. 11 in F minor “Serioso”, Op. 95 by Ludwig van Beethoven, arranged by Gustav Mahler,
  • String Quartet No. 14 in D minor, D 810 “Death and the Maiden” by Franz Schubert, arranged by Gustav Mahler.

Performers and concert series

The conductor for the evening will be John Axelrod, and the Sinfonietta Cracovia orchestra will perform on stage. The concert is part of the “Stars with Sinfonietta” series, as well as the “Muzyczne Mosty” (Musical Bridges) project. The organizer’s materials contain no details about that project, so this article only mentions its name.

Information on ticket prices in the available materials indicates a range from 15 to 60 zł. Later announcements marked the event as sold out, so it is worth checking current ticket availability directly with the organizer.
