The Polish Violin Duo’s programs strongly feature works written by Polish composers in addition to standard international repertoire. This concert will highlight Virtuosic Etudes-Caprices Op. 18 for two violins by Henryk Wieniawski as well as works by Grażyna Bacewicz, Romuald Twardowski, and Anna Rocławska-Musiałczyk.
