The Polish composer Henryk Gorecki passed away today at the age of 76. The local memorial to this great composer (known best for his Symphony No. 3 “Symphony of Sorrowful Songs”) will be a performance by the Arnica Quartet of his First String Quartet “Already it is Dusk” at a concert presented by Marzena on Friday, March 25, 2011.
