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 piece and as the arranger of the other two.
The announced repertoire includes the following pieces:
- Adagietto from Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 5,
- 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 and also of the project “Muzyczne Mosty” (Musical Bridges). The organizer’s materials do not include details about this project, so this article only mentions its name.

Information about ticket prices in the available materials indicates a range from PLN 15 to 60. Later announcements listed the event as sold out, so it is best to check current ticket availability directly with the organizer.
