FRSO's first Sunday concert of the year takes to the mountains of Poland, the native country of violinist Justyna Grudzień.
The folk music of the Goral people of that region has inspired numerous Polish composers.
This programme features two String Quartets by Karol Szymanowski evoking the landscape of the mountains and traditional Goral dances.
Mikołaj Górecki and Wojciech Kilar were also inspired by the mountains; the latter’s Orawa focuses on the joy of harvest festivals in the Carpathian Mountains.
