POLAND 100 years - free again!

On November 11, 1918, the guns of World War I fell silent. The three imperial powers that had dominated Poland for nearly two centuries, eventually carving it up and devouring it for themselves, lay defeated or in disarray. The way was clear for the rebirth of Poland as a modern nation, for the white eagle to soar free of the black eagles that had plagued it for so long.

Celebrating this centenary, the Delgani String Quartet and pianist Asya Gulua perform five commissioned premieres inspired by Polish Independence, by Cascadia members Jay Derderian, Matthew Kaminski, Stephen Lewis, Liz Nedela and Paul Safar, as well as Karol Szymanowski's second String Quartet.
