Atom String Quartet is one of the most intriguing string quartets in the world and is among the top jazz performers in Poland.

In their work, besides jazz, you can hear influences from Polish folk, music from various regions of the world, as well as contemporary and classical music. The quartet has recorded seven original albums, two of which have won the Polish music industry’s “Fryderyk” award. In 2023, Atom String Quartet signed an exclusive contract with the international record label Warner Music, resulting in a two-disc album, “UNIVERSUM,” featuring four multi-part string quartets composed by each of the group’s musicians. The album premiered in January 2024.
