Irena Dubiska (26 September 1899 in Inowrocław – 1 June 1989, Warsaw) was a Polish violinist. Irena Stanisława Aniela Dubiska was born in Inowrocław to Edmund and Władysława (née Jewasińska); she and her siblings, Ludomira and Aleksander, all had a musical education. Dubiska began studying violin at age 5 with her first teacher, the Bernese violinist Oskar Anderlik, who suggested that she continue studying in Berlin. At age nine she debuted in Wittenberg and later performed in Inowrocław, accompanied by her sister, who had graduated from the Berlin Conservatory and taught at the school, on the piano. Dubiska graduated from the conservatory at age thirteen. She began performing with Polish violinist Bronisław Huberman and they played throughout Germany, Poland, France, and the Netherlands. Dubiska had begun giving private lessons in 1913 and then taught the violin class at the Warsaw Conservatory. In 1930, Dubiska founded the Polish Quartet (later named the Kwartet im. Karol Szymanowski) with fellow musicians Mieczysław Fliederbaum (violin), Mieczysław Szaleski (viola), and Zofia Adamska (cello). The quartet gave concerts until the outbreak of World War II, during which Dubiska remained in Warsaw, refusing to perform for the occupying Germans, including Hans Frank, then governor of occupied Poland.…Citește mai mult
