The Silesian String Quartet is one of Eastern Europe's most renowned and durable chamber ensembles, with a strong commitment to contemporary music. Of the 300 works in its repertory, almost two-thirds are by composers of the 20th century or later, and the group has premiered more than 100 works. The quartet's current memers are violinists Szymon Krzeszowiec and Arkadiusz Kubica, violist Lukasz Syrnicki, and cellist Piotr Janosik. In 1994, the quartet recorded an album of chamber music by Henryk Górecki. Its collaborators have included clarinetist Martin Fröst and pianist Bruno Canino. The Silesian String Quartet recorded prolifically in the late 2010s and early 2020s, making albums devoted to quartets of Mieczyslaw Weinberg, and issued the complete string quartets of Grazyna Bacewicz in 2016 as well as those of Krzysztof Penderecki in 2021.
