Driven by curiosity and guided by ideas and tradition, we create programs in which the courage of thought meets the maturity of performance.
The repertoire of ProSonus Ensemble emerges from a conscious creative process. Each program is an original concept in which the selection of works, their order and the manner of performance form a coherent artistic whole. Rather than presenting fixed concert formats, the ensemble creates unique projects shaped by instrumentation, artistic ideas and context.
Repertoire 2026/2027
Tansman / Poulenc – Interwar Paris
Alexandre Tansman - Quatre pièces faciles (arr. ProSonus Ensemble)
Alexandre Tansman - Musique à six
Francis Poulenc - Sextet FP 100 (arr. ProSonus Ensemble)
This program presents a creative dialogue between two outstanding musical personalities of the twentieth century – Alexandre Tansman and Francis Poulenc – set against the vibrant artistic landscape of interwar Paris. Though stylistically distinct, both composers contributed to shaping a new model of chamber music: one combining clarity of form with refined expression and the subtle irony characteristic of the era.
Tansman’s sextet for piano, clarinet and string quartet captivates with its elegance, transparency of texture and natural narrative flow. Poulenc’s Sextet FP 100, in turn, reveals a world of contrasts – from lightness and wit to profound lyricism and finely crafted dramaturgy.
A distinctive feature of this program lies in the original arrangements by ProSonus Ensemble, which are not mere transcriptions but artistically autonomous interpretations. They offer the repertoire a new sonic and dramaturgical perspective, transforming the concert into a unique programmatic proposal that can be realized in this particular form only by ProSonus Ensemble.
The program ultimately forms a cohesive portrait of an era in which chamber music was a space for elegance, artistic courage and intellectual play – a world of colors, tensions and subtle poetic expression.
Brahms – Two Masterpieces of Chamber Music
Johannes Brahms – Piano Quintet in F minor, Op. 34
Johannes Brahms – Clarinet Quintet in B minor, Op. 115
The pairing of Brahms’s Piano Quintet in F minor, Op. 34 and Clarinet Quintet in B minor, Op. 115 forms an original concert concept by ProSonus Ensemble, revealing two contrasting yet complementary faces of the composer’s late style. The monumental architecture of the Piano Quintet meets the introspective and melancholic narrative of one of Brahms’s final chamber masterpieces.
At the heart of this project lies the ensemble’s work as a permanent, consciously shaped artistic organism. The long-standing collaboration between the musicians results in a unified musical narrative, a homogeneous sound and an organic shaping of form – qualities rarely encountered in repertoire performed by ensembles assembled only temporarily.
This program is therefore not merely a juxtaposition of two works but a carefully constructed concert concept in which interpretation, dramaturgy and repertoire selection form an inseparable whole characteristic of ProSonus Ensemble’s artistic approach.
Szymanowski / Bargielski – A Dialogue Across Generations
Karol Szymanowski – Mazurkas (selection)
Zbigniew Bargielski – Ballad for Violin and Piano
Karol Szymanowski – String Quartet No. 2
Karol Szymanowski – Mazurkas (selection, arr. for clarinet and accordion by Maciej Zimka)
Zbigniew Bargielski – Alpine String Quartet
Zbigniew Bargielski – Work for clarinet, accordion and string quartet (world premiere)
This program is an original concept by ProSonus Ensemble, presenting a dialogue between the music of Karol Szymanowski and Zbigniew Bargielski – composers separated by generations yet deeply connected through aesthetic and artistic ideas. Their music shares a distinctive sensitivity to timbre, sonic space and inspirations drawn from nature, folklore and spirituality.
This relationship also has a historical dimension. Bargielski studied with Bolesław Szabelski, a direct student of Szymanowski, and later with Nadia Boulanger, thus embodying Szymanowski’s famous idea: “For technique – to Paris!” This continuity of artistic thought lends the program a depth that goes far beyond a simple juxtaposition of works.
The program includes selected mazurkas by Szymanowski, both in their original form and in a new instrumentation for clarinet and accordion, alongside his expressive String Quartet No. 2. Bargielski’s music is represented by three contrasting works: the lyrical Ballad, the evocative Alpine Quartet, and a new work for clarinet, accordion and string quartet, whose world premiere forms an integral part of the concert concept.
It is a project in which program, performance and artistic idea form a single, coherent vision – conceived specifically for this ensemble and its unique aesthetic.
