Atom String Quartet
feat. S.V.A. Trio

Tuesday 26/09/2023 from 21:00

The Atom String Quartet is one of the most intriguing string quartets in the world—and also one of the best Polish jazz bands. The group combines the capabilities of a string quartet with improvisation in its broadest sense. Its musical output, besides jazz, shows sources of inspiration from Polish folk and world music, as well as contemporary and classical music. The quartet was established in Warsaw in 2010, and since winning the Grand Prix of the 13th Bielska Zadymka Jazz Festival in 2011, the band has been constantly performing on the greatest Polish and international stages. The group recorded five original records, two of which received the Polish music award “Fryderyk.” Their CD – PENDERECKI was released in 2019; it contains the quartet’s own arrangements for an improvising string quartet of Krzysztof Penderecki’s compositions. In 2021, the album Karłowicz Recomposed was released, recorded at the invitation of Dorota Serwa - Director of the Mieczysław Karłowicz Philharmonic in Szczecin, together with the Szczecin Philharmonic Wind Quartet – a group of soloists from that institution. In 2022, the album Essence was released, which is a record of more than 10 years of the ensemble`s history, featuring new versions of songs from their previous albums and three compositions recorded for the first time. The musicians of the Atom String Quartet are regularly invited to participate in the recording sessions of other musicians, they cooperate with leading Polish and foreign artists and orchestras.

Support: The S.V.A. Trio started playing in March 2020 – a time when all public music events came to a halt by the pandemic. However, this time of uncertainty and emptiness only served to accelerate the completion of new projects, such as the S.V.A. Trio – a formation of three renowned musicians with multi-genre experience who decided to focus on their own music. Music which would reflect our common musical influences and become a reaction to living in a metropolis. They call this style “urban fusion.”
