BIOGRAPHY

Composer, conductor, organist, pedagogue, organologist, music life organizer and culture manager.

He studied organ performance at the Academy of Music in Gdańsk under Prof. Leon Bator, graduated with distinction from the Academy of Music in Warsaw in the organ class of Prof. Joachim Grubich, and completed his studies at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis (Hochschule für Alte Musik) in the organ class of Jean-Claude Zehnder. At the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, he also graduated with distinction in vocal studies under Richard Levitt and took a composition course with Rudolf Lutz. He actively participated in 30 masterclasses in organ, harpsichord, and fortepiano in Poland, Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland.

He is a finalist and laureate of organ competitions in Rumia, Gdańsk, Warsaw, Odense (Denmark), and Bruges (Belgium). In 2002, he defended his doctoral dissertation at the Academy of Music in Łódź, and in 2012 he obtained the post-doctoral degree (habilitation) in musical arts at the Academy of Music in Poznań. In 2021, he was awarded the title of Professor of Musical Arts.

He was a scholarship holder of the City of Basel (Switzerland), Rapps-Stiftung (Switzerland), Doms-Stiftung (Switzerland), the Organ Summer Academy in Haarlem (Netherlands), the Institute of Music and Dance, the Adam Mickiewicz Institute, the President of the City of Gdańsk, the Marshal of the Pomeranian Voivodeship, and the Foundation for Culture.

Since 1994, he has regularly performed in Poland, Europe, as well as in the USA and Russia (he has given over 700 concerts) as a soloist, chamber musician, and conductor. In addition to his organ concert activity, he is also involved in composition. In 2011, thanks to a Young Artists’ Scholarship from the Marshal of the Pomeranian Voivodeship, his Missa Brevis for 8-part a cappella choir was published by the music publisher Polihymnia. In 2018/2019, four volumes of organ compositions were published by the Academy of Music in Gdańsk. He is the author of numerous solo and chamber organ compositions premiered in Poland, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, the USA, the United Kingdom, Norway, and Russia.

He is currently a professor at the Department of Church Music at the Academy of Music in Gdańsk, where he teaches organ performance and basso continuo realization. He has delivered lectures and taught courses in organ music interpretation in Poland, as well as at the Faculty of Music at the University of Oulu in Finland, the Faculty of Musicology at the University of Greifswald, the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor (USA), the Academy of Music in Vilnius, and the State Music Gymnasium in Cēsis.

He has served as an expert consultant on many organ projects in Poland and abroad, including the Merten Friese organ (1618) in the Franciscan Church of the Holy Trinity in Gdańsk, the Johann Rohde organ (1760) in St. John’s Church in Gdańsk, the Rudolph Dalitz organ (1787) in Różyny, the Eduard Wittek organ (1911) in the Salesian Church of St. John Bosco in Gdańsk-Orunia, the Eduard Wittek organ (1918) in Rumia, and in the Franciscan Church in Vilnius (authorial concept, 2022). From 2020 to 2025, he served as curator of the organ at the St. John’s Centre in Gdańsk.

Winner of the 2022 OPUS KLASSIK award for Best World Premiere.

He cooperates with the Gdańsk Library of the Polish Academy of Sciences as coordinator of the project The Musical Heritage of the City of Gdańsk in the field of recordings and publications of Gdańsk musical sources. He is the founder and director of the vocal-instrumental ensemble GOLDBERG BAROQUE ENSEMBLE (www.goldbergensemble.eu), with which he records premiere performances of 18th-century Gdańsk cantatas.

As a soloist and conductor, he has over 30 original CD releases with Polish (Sarton, Dux, Acte Préalable, Ars Sonora) and German (Motette-Psallite, MDG) labels. The albums from the series The Musical Heritage of the City of Gdańsk. The Gdańsk Kingdom of Cantatas have been nominated multiple times for the FRYDERYK and SZTORM awards. He is currently the artistic director of the MUSICA BALTICA and GDAŃSK ORGAN LANDSCAPE series for the renowned German label MDG, whose individual releases have been repeatedly nominated for the FRYDERYK and OPUS KLASSIK awards. In 2022, he received the OPUS KLASSIK award in the Best World Premiere category for the album MUSICA BALTICA 9. Johann Daniel Pucklitz Oratorio Secondo.

He is the author of many scholarly studies and articles published in Polish and international journals. In 2011, the Academy of Music in Gdańsk published his book dedicated to the works of two students of Johann Sebastian Bach active on the Baltic coast, titled Style and Interpretation in the Organ Works of Friedrich Christian Mohrheim (1719?1780) and Johann Gottfried Müthel (17281788): Performance and Stylistic Issues of Organ Music in the Southern Baltic Region in the Eighteenth Century. In 2015, under the program “Musical White Spots” by the Institute of Music and Dance, he produced a scholarly edition of a manuscript containing 517 fugues by Gdańsk organist Daniel Magnus Gronau. This became the basis for a textbook on basso continuo, counterpoint, improvisation, and composition, and the manuscript’s transcription was published in Polish in 2017, as well as in an English-German version in 2016. He is the main author of a monograph on the organ in the Franciscan Church of the Holy Trinity in Gdańsk, published in 2018.

He is the author of the radio series Organy Nieograne on Polish Radio Two. He is the creator and artistic director of many artistic formats and festivals, including the Festival of Young Vocalists and Organists in Bydgoszcz, the ORGANy PLUS+ Festival in Gdańsk, the Concerts for Gdańsk Residents series, the Lets Squeak Together events for children, the visual arts competition “…and the organ played, Pomerania 2008 – International Meeting of Organ Builders, GdO Tagung 2018 International Gathering of Organ Enthusiasts, the festival Moniuszko in the Churches of Warsaw, MONIUSZKO_150 VILNIUS-BERLIN, and Amor Artis — For the Love of Art in Malbork.
