Discoveries
The debut album of the PCQ - “Discoveries” – appeared in 2017.
„Four recognized pearls of chamber music. Four arguments to prove that a string quartet may appear in a beautiful form of a dialogue of four partners speaking the same voice. The same voice but in different ways. It’s time for new ‘Discoveries’: the young pearls of new music.”
DOROTA KOZIŃSKA
In the fall of 2017 the artists recorded Grażyna Bacewicz’s Quartet for Four Cellos in the Chandos studio. The album with the chamber music of this composer appeared in April 2018.

Repertoire
In their repertoire one can find pieces which were originally composed to be performed by a cello quartet. The repertoire is still being enriched with modern compositions by Polish and foreign composers, such as Artur Zagajewski, Piotr Moss and Annelies Van Parys. Most of these compositions has never before been performed in Poland.
Since 2014 PCQ is one of the groups belonging to the National Forum of Music – which is the cultural institution of the City of Wrocław, co-governed by the Minister of Culture and National Heritage, the Community of Wrocław and the Lower Silesian Province.
The Art of Music Foundation has been established on the initiative of the Polish Cello Quartet whose ambition, apart from its artistic activity, is to create projects for young artists.
The members of PCQ are the founders and organizers of the International Cello Academy. Every year ICA gathers many distinguished professors from countries all over the world, and also may students – cellists. Its mission is to promote chamber music written exclusively for cellos.
