Once upon a time, every self-respecting noble and bourgeois salon absolutely had to have a piano to be played for guests and simply for fun. The 19th-century tradition of music-making at home is recalled by the Kraków Music Salon. Its 7th edition features a recital of songs by Ludomir Różycki, pieces for cello and piano by Karol Rathaus, Mieczysław Wajnberg and Szymon Laks, and an evening Mozart and Women. We will also remember chamber music by Paul Caro – the forgotten composer from Wrocław (and pupil of Anton Bruckner) who passed away in 1914. It will be performed by Michał Marcol (violin), Krzysztof Karpeta (cello) and Monika Kruk (piano); the trio released the first ever recording of Caro’s music last year. Other performers include Jolanta Kowalska-Pawlikowska (soprano), Magdalena Bojanowicz, Agnieszka Oszańca and Bartosz Koziak (cellos) and Katarzyna Drogosz and Grzegorz Mania (pianos).
