Teenage Polish musicians play Down Under

Piotr Motyka, Piotr Poterała and Mikołaj Skopek, aged between 12 and 15, attend the Oskar Kolberg Music School in Radom and their ‘Accordions 4 World’ quartet has already scored many successes at home and in several European countries.

During a two-week tour they will perform at the Polish Consulate in Sydney, in schools and Polish cultural centres in Brisbane and Canberra.

Earlier this year Piotr Motyka, the oldest of the group, won the International Akkordeonwettbewerb in Klingenthal, Germany. The success led to an invitation to a TV show, and eventually a tour of Australia and a series of other promotional concerts for Piotr and his friends.

While in Australia, they want to promote not only Polish music but also their native town of Radom. (mk/rg)
