HART — The Hart Community Performing Arts Series will present the duo of Karolina Mikolajczyk on violin and Iwo Jedynecki playing the classical accordion Friday, Nov. 14, at 7:30 p.m. in the Hart Public Schools auditorium.
The duo is one of the most vibrant and innovative chamber ensembles of the younger generation. They were winners of Grand Prix and first prizes at international music competitions in France, Italy, Austria, Croatia and Poland and have performed at Carnegie Hall, Merkin Concert Hall, Guangzhou Opera House, and the Warsaw Philharmonic, where they debuted to a sold-out audience.
They have played recitals in Europe — France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Georgia, the United States — New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, San Diego, Washington D.C., Indianapolis, Las Vegas, Orcas Island, Asia — China, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, Brunei, United Arab Emirates, and South America — Chile, Argentina, Uruguay. The duo’s performances are described as perfect and mature, yet luminous and filled with youthful vitality.
Many pieces gain new interpretations and original sounds thanks to their innovative transcriptions. Both artists boldly venture into renowned works of chamber music literature giving them new quality and delightfully diverse coloring. The duo also collaborates with contemporary music composers. In 2019, they worked with two-time Grammy winning composer Krzysztof Penderecki arranging his I Violin Sonata for a duo of violin and classical accordion. The duo has recorded two CD albums with contemporary music nominated for the Fryderyk Prize — the Polish Equivalent of a Grammy.
Tickets are available at the box office or online at hartseries.org.
