The art critic Frances Spalding suggested that Nowak's Polish upbringing and a possible love of Marc Chagall contributed to the melancholy mood of her solo show at the Philip Francis Gallery in Sheffield in 1979. [6] There’s a scene in Vikram Seth’s novel An Equal Music that rings true for Jacqueline Thomas. “The string quartet are in rehearsal.

I talked about the last time I had seen her in LA years ago, about her unbelievable voice, and so many of the transitions which, as a close close friend, I had seen or at least 'heard' her go through. I decided to try and connect with her again, only to learn of her death and I am writing this in the absolute freshness of this learning. Rhiannon speaks from the perspective of someone still in the scoping phase of the project, where she is building networks and relationships and working with advisory groups to shape her approach.

Those days had a feel that will never be repeated except perhaps in the dreams of those of us fortunately to have lived in a time of magic and seeming miracles. Time and time again I think of Krysia and those times of the mid to late sixties in Milngavie where we both lived. The number of people who are looking for Krysia's music is small, so such a venture probably wouldn't raise a ton of money, but that's okay too, I guess. I'd also really just like to put her music out there. She was damn good in my opinion, and her music and voice deserve to be heard.

What does this have to do with a 9 year old girl living in Lwów, a small city in eastern Poland? Everything. The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, as it came to be called, sealed the fate of this young girl and her family once the war began.

There’s this perception that a string quartet is a terribly precious thing: four people sitting in a room playing and earnestly discussing music, that nothing else matters. But it’s not like that.”Forget lofty analogies. “Being in a quartet is like going on a very long car journey,” says Belton, the group’s self-confessed “bluff Northerner”. “There’s a driver, a navigator, a route- planner and someone in charge of logistics.
