Harp recital

A solo performance lasting about 1 hour (depending on the chosen repertoire). The harp is a rare and beautiful instrument, which is why harp concerts are very popular among the audience. The recital consists of harp music and arrangements of famous classical music pieces. My repertoire includes:

L. Spohr – Fantasia for harp
M. Grandjany – Fantasie sur un theme de Haydn
M. Tournier – Au Matin
C. Debussy – Clair de Lune
M. Mtchedelov – Variations on a theme of Paganini
G. Fauré - Impromptu

Harp and flute duo

The combination of these two instruments gives an exceptionally beautiful and noble timbre. The harp with flute has become an inspiration for many composers, which is why there is a very rich repertoire. I work with various flautists, including Karolina Zych (Warsaw Chamber Opera) and Magdalena Łapińska. The duo's repertoire includes:

W. A. Mozart - excerpts from the “The Marriage of Figaro” opera
J. Massenet – Meditation from the “Thaïs” opera
G. Fauré – Sicilienne
F. Rust – Sonata for flute and harp

Harp, flute and viola trio

A typical harp trio presenting full harmony and deep sound. The repertoire includes:

C. Debussy – Sonata for flute, viola and harp
M. Weinberg - Trio for flute, viola and harp op. 127

Harp and soprano duo

I accompany the excellent singer – Marta Czarkowska (proMODERN). The repertoire consists of early and romantic music, including:

G. F. Sances – Usurpator Tiranno
B. Strozzi – Que si puo fare
G. Fauré – Clair de lune
G. Fauré – En Priere

Concert with orchestra

My repertoire contains concertos for harp and symphony or chamber orchestra as well as a large music ensemble, including:

C. Debussy – Danses Sacrée et Profane
M. Ravel – Introduction et Allegro
A. Ginastera – Concert for harp
G. Pierné – Konzertstück
G. F. Händel – Konzert B-dur

Event offer

I offer a solo harpist performance or a duo/larger chamber ensemble as a musical setting for ceremonies and events such as: wedding, wedding dinner, business dinner, vernissage, conference, jubilee, banquet, gala, award ceremony, etc.

A performance may take the form of:

a concert as an artistic part of the event
background music

The repertoire includes famous works of classical music (including Aria on the G string, Vivaldi's Winter), film music (“Gabriel's oboe”, Disney themes) and popular entertainment pieces (“Hallelujah”, “Moon River”). We select the repertoire individually to the client's needs.

Harp lessons

The harp is a very original instrument and may be a more interesting solution for future music lovers than a piano or a violin. Both children and adults can attend lessons. The advantage of this instrument is the fact that from the very first sounds the student produces a nice tones, pleasant to the rest of the household.

All classes are prepared individually, and the repertoire is selected with the student himself. I prepare the arrangements for harp of the students' favorite songs and musical works myself. In lessons, over time, you will learn how to play your favorite tune on the harp.

Each lesson is prepared for a specific person, so that it corresponds to their predispositions, musical tastes and harp advancement – either if someone sees the instrument for the first time in their life or already has some musical experience.

I am a harp teacher at the State Music School Complex No. 1 in Warsaw – a school with great traditions and the oldest class of harp in Poland (previously the school at Miodowa street).

Biography

Harpist-mathematician, the Chopin University of Music graduate (diploma with honours) and the Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Mechanics at the University of Warsaw graduate. I deepened my studies at a prestigious Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Switzerland in the field of playing the historical harp. I am a laureate of many musical competitions, including 1st prize in an instrumental competition in Paris as well as a scholarship holder of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage, the Centre for Artistic Education, the Marian & Zofia Kirsch Foundation (Switzerland), the Musik-Akademie Basel scholarship fund (Switzerland), the Józef Elsner Foundation and the scholarship programs of the Adam Mickiewicz Institute.

I studied under the guidance of Heindrun Rosenzweig, Alina Baranowska-Liese and prof. Urszula Mazurek. I perfected my skills at numerous workshops and master classes conducted by world-renowned harpists, including Xavier de Maistre (Hamburg), Arianna Savall (Barcelona, Basel), Florence Sitruk (Geneva), Germaine Lorenzini (Lyon), Elżbieta Szmyt (Bloomington).

As a soloist/chamber musician I performed in many places, including the Witold Lutosławski Concert Studio of Polish Radio, the Stanisławowski Palace, the Czech Radio in Ostrava, the Austrian Cultural Forum, the Academy of Fine Arts Auditorium, seat of the Senate of the Republic of Poland, Royal Castle in Warsaw.

I played under the baton of such conductors as Benjamin Levy, Jacek Kasprzyk, Paweł Kotla, Marcin Nałęcz-Niesiołowski, Michał Klauza, José Maria Florêncio, Tomasz Bugaj. I performed with the Polish Radio Orchestra, orchestras of the National Philharmonic in Warsaw, Lublin Philharmonic, Poznań Philharmonic, Baltic Philharmonic, Koszalin Philharmonic, Subcarpathian Philharmonic, Warmian-Masurian Philharmonic and others.

I play the entertainment music as well. I also deal with the realization from a figured bass on harp, performing in baroque ensembles.

My passion is wall and rock climbing as well as theatre, with which I am associated through musical and theatrical projects. I was a member of the Hybrydy theatre at the University of Warsaw. I perform in the National Theatre in the play “Three Sisters” directed by Jan Englert.
