My "artistic credo"

 

  My artistic message is connected mostly with all the things and values which refere to my faith and spirituality. This are the root of my human beeing and musical inspiration. As long as I live I want to spread (by my music and my skils) the truth of life which source is my relationchip with God.

​

My music!

​

   As a  pianist and conducter I do produce and record my own pieces. My music is deeply inspired by clasical and noetonal XX century music. The biggest influence for my music is followed by composition of  I. StrawiÅ„ski and   W. LutosÅ‚awski. Also B. Evans and Ch. Mingus - in case of orchestration and arrangment. My subject is to use clasical melody, harmony, instrumentation and formal structures in order to create an interesting music in diffrent styles including new contemporary music. In this range I compose also Gospel&Worship music based mostly on blues and jazz varietis. An examples of my most significent pieces  are stored on my website --- ​
