The 6th edition of the International Chamber Music Festival “Q’arto Mondi” took place, just like every year, in Poznań during the month of April. Some of the world’s leading artists, intriguing repertoire and a few novelties were once again on the program. This year’s inauguration was held at the Aula NOVA of the I.J. Paderewski Academy of Music. All other concerts were presented in the Red Chamber of the Działyński Palace, where the acoustic qualities of this noble venue encouraged an even wider audience to approach the ideal that the chamber music represents, with a special focus on the string quartet.

This year the festival hosted two “senior” quartets of great renown on all continents: the Vogler Quartett and Fauré Quartett. The festival stage was also open for the younger generation of quartets, represented this year by Armida Quartett and the hosts of the festival, Meccore String Quartet. As an alternative for the quartet in its classical form, there was also a concert of the Polish Cello Quartet. It is the festival’s tradition to give the floor to some of the most outstanding students of I. J. Paderewski Academy of Music in Poznań, who had the chance to perform on the Meccore Proms concert.
