The Chair of Piano Chamber Music

The Chair was established in 2012, making it one of the youngest academic units of the Academy of Music in Poznań. The Chair is made up of pianists from the Chair of Piano who lead chamber ensembles, accompanists who work on a daily basis with students of other specialties, and teachers who lead chamber ensembles together with the pianists.

The chamber musicians take an active part in the majority of regular academic concerts. A special place among these events is occupied by a cycle “Masterpieces of Chamber Music” initiated by an outstanding violinist, a doctor honoris causa of our Academy, Prof. Jadwiga Kaliszewska, who for many years combined the function of the Head of the Chair of String Instruments and the Head of the Chair of Chamber Music.

 

The Chair’s tasks include:

  • organization of the didactic process,
  • developing research programs and supervising research conducted by the Chair’s staff,
  • presenting the artistic and scientific achievements of the Chair’s staff,
  • collaborating with the Chairs of Piano Chamber Music of Polish and foreign music academies,
  • organization of concerts, courses and scientific conferences.

As part of the latter activity, annual scientific sessions “In the Circle of Piano Chamber Music” are held, including lectures by outstanding Polish and foreign chamber musicians and chamber music concerts.
