Dear Friends,

welcome in the 2017-2018 season - we hope it will be full of inspiring projects and unforgettable musical moments for you!

The summer break was a very exciting one for us, as we learned that Linus Roth andThomas Sanderling won the ECHO Klassik award for their latest album recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra, and including the Urtext verion of Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto, as well as the Shostakovich Violin Concerto No.2! [watch wideo about the CD]

What is more, our artists' roster has expanded, as we welcomed Leonard Elschenbroich whom we will represent in Central and Eastern Europe.

Summer has been as exciting in terms of concerts, to mention Janusz Wawrowski's performance of the Panufnik Violin Concerto at the opening of Solidarity of Arts Festival in Gdańsk and four performances of violinist Anna Kwiatkowska and sultan hagavik duo at the Bendigo International Festival of Exploratory Music in Australia, among others! We were also pround to have our CEO, Stanisław Suchora, as guest curator of the Sound Gallery Series at this festival.

Now, please let us share some information about our plans and our artists' highlights for the nearest future.
