We are graduates from the Academy of Music in Cracow.
The present group composed of Mariola Spiewak - clarinet, Grzegorz Spiewak - accordion, Rafal Seweryniak - contrabass performs since 1998. Although our artistic work is inspired by Jewish music, we are not a typical klezmer group as we attempt to present our music more in an artistic than folk form. Parts of the work are our own compositions.We care very much about the sound, precision and high performance level. We constantly work on our skills and development of our repertoire, and we perform regularly.

Our artistic oeuvre includes in total several hundred of concerts both in Poland and in other European countries as well as numerous recordings for the radio, television and film industry – we also have made three records, and the last one has received the recommendation of maestro Krzysztof Penderecki.

We are the laureates of European Awards in Culture (Basle, 1998). We also won the First Prize in the 1st Chopin Open Competition for all instruments except the piano (Kraków, 1999) for "Chopin's Freilach" based on three mazurkas by Frederic Chopin.

One of our greatest achievements is unquestionably representing Poland in the concert "The Magic of One Evening" in Luxembourg within the scope of the 1st anniversary of the extension of the European Union and a concert during the Polish day on EXPO 2000 in Hanover.

In 2011, we took part in the main event of Reihe Eins cycle organized by MDR radio station during the January edition that was dedicated to Poland. In the first part, in the hall of Gewandhaus in Leipzig was performed "Polish Requiem" of Krzysztof Penderecki conducted by the composer. In the second part of the evening, we played our music.

In May 2012, we were guests of 47th Music Festival in Hoyerswerda where we performed alongside such stars as Ludwig Güttler or POWER! Percussion.

In August 2013 in Cracow we performed during the honoring ceremony of the Righteous Among The Nations.

It is worth mentioning that we took part in an orchestral project. Some of our works were arranged for string orchestra. The originator of the arrangements was a conductor and a cellist Adam Klocek. We performed this program with Kalisz Philharmonic Orchestra during the commemoration of the 1850 anniversary of Kalisz and during the 48th Music Festival in Bydgoszcz accompanied by Pomerania Philharmonic Orchestra. In this festival took also part such artists as Krzysztof Penderecki, Jerzy Maksymiuk, Krzysztof Jablonski, Konstanty Andrzej Kulka, Berliner Saxophon Quartett and Carrantuohill.

In December 2011 in Croatia took place two concerts with the Croatian Chamber Philharmonic. In 2012 we repeated that programme during festival "Week of Israeli Culture" in Zagreb. One of the guests was Giora Feidmann.

In February 2012, in Kielce we played with the accompaniment of Swietokrzyska Philharmonic Orchestra and in May 2017 and August 2018, with Czestochowa Philharmonic Orchestra.
