About

Krzysztof Meyer, born in Krakow in 1943, is one of the leading Polish composers of the day. He studied with Penderecki and Nadia Boulanger and counted Shostakovich as friend and supporter. His music marries a powerful sense of drama with long‐breathed lyricism in a largely tonal framework.

Of these works, Meyer writes, ʹI wanted the melody to be predominant – not a post‐ Romantic cantilena but absolutely contemporary. And the cello, like no other instrument, is perfect for thatʹ.

Evva Mizerska graduated with high distinction from the Frédéric Chopin Academy of Music in 2001, won first prize at the International Leoš Janáček Competition and is currently a cello lecturer at Morley College, London.

Born in Naples, Emma Abbate gained First Class Honours at Trinity College of Music, London, has won many prizes, and works as an official accompanist, repetiteur and language coach for opera companies, competitions and Trinity College.

Katarzyna Glensk was born in Poland, won a scholarship to Trinity College, London and first prize in the Chopin Prize in London. She has performed in the Czech Republic, Germany, Russia, Greece and Great Britain.
