The somewhat forgotten Władysław Żeleński (1837-1921) – composer, pianist, pedagogue, conductor and founder and director of the Conservatory of Music in Kraków – is slowly emerging from the shadows. The 2nd Władysław Żeleński and Music Salons in Kraków Festival recalls his songs (8 November), string quartets (25 November) and cello sonatas (18 November), intertwined with compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach, Krzysztof Penderecki, Zbigniew Stojowski and Ignacy Jan Paderewski. During the concerts, we will hear artists including Magdalena Molendowska (soprano), Maria Sławek (violin), Marcin Zdunik (cello) and Lutosławski Quartet (piano). (Barbara Skowrońska)
