Is something more than a classical string quartet. The names that make Grupa MoCarta are: Filip Jaslar _ first violin, Michal Sikorski – second violin, Pawel Kowaluk – viola, Bolek Blaszczyk – cello. They are all well educated instrumentalists who graduated from prestigious academies of Music in Warsaw and Lodz, but they decided to play classical music in a humorous way.

We treat our Mother Music with a humorous irony and we are sure she will have nothing against it”.

The second program of the Group, in which they took Vivaldi a their patron, was entitled “The Four Seasons According to Grupa MoCarta”. Later on however, it runs freely in the direction of various Polish and world songs about spring, summer, autumn and winter. The piece provides the listener with over 70 minutes of a sophisticated perfectly arranged and played fun!

In 2007 Grupa MoCarta has published their first DVD ever – “Grupa MoCarta at the opera” – a live concert recorded at the opera in Wroclaw.
Grupa MoCarta appeared on many stages all over the world, and received many prestigious prizes.
