“Music is the expression of emotions and feelings. I hold as my ideal a piece in which poetic content is combined with excellence of musical craftmanship. Poetry alone does not determine the musical value of a piece, just as craftmanship alone risks falling into a pitfall of using worn-out formulas. Enduring beauty is only born from a balance of both”  Andrzej Panufnik (1952) 

Silesian String Quartet – 45 years of experience, more than 150 first performances of chamber works, thousands of concerts in the world's most famous concert halls, more than 60 albums, more than 20 nominations, 10 ‘Fryderyk’ statuettes and the most important – the ‘musical Oscar’, i.e., the Gramophone Classical Music Award. 

The ensemble specialises in the discovery, promotion and recording of Polish music and is famous for its first performances under the guidance of composers. Ditching the traditional hierarchical model of performing music, the ensemble emphasises exchange and collaboration with other musicians. 

This season, the artists will introduce the work of Sir Andrzej Panufnik on the 110th anniversary of the birth of the only Polish composer to be awarded a title of nobility by Queen Elizabeth II.  

Composed in 1987, the sextet for strings was named Train of Thought by Andrzej Panufnik. However, the Polish title translation does not fully reflect the composer's intention. Indeed, his concept considers the ambiguity of the word 'train', which can mean both train as a means of locomotion and flow of thought. Hence, it has come to be accepted that the Polish title of this work can be roughly translated as The Flow of Thought. This composition was inspired by Panufnik's experiences during a train journey, the monotonous rhythm of which induced a train of thoughts. The piece's distinctive rhythmic element was based on the train wheels hitting the rails. Nevertheless, Panufnik's work differs significantly from Honegger's Pacific 2.3.1; instead, it presents a metaphor of picturesque and mysterious landscapes and thoughts passing through a person's mind, just as the ever-changing images seen from the windows of a train pass through. The programme will be complemented by works by native British composers Gustav Holst and Joseph Holbrooke.
