Dr hab. Paweł Wróbel
An outstanding organist and pedagogue whose artistic path led from the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music in Warsaw under the guidance of Prof. Andrzej Chorosiński to prestigious universities in Germany and Austria. As a laureate of numerous international organ competitions, including those in Zurich and Miami, he has developed a style that combines academic precision with a rare sensitivity. He has recorded five albums of organ music, two of which feature the organ works of forgotten 20th-century Polish composers. His membership in the American Guild of Organists in New York and his performances on the most prestigious stages in Europe and the USA confirm his position as one of the most important ambassadors of Polish organ music in the world.
Prof. Łukasz Długosz
Recognized by international critics as one of the most outstanding flutists of our time. His achievements are truly extraordinary—he has recorded 93 albums, receiving a number of the most prestigious accolades, including multiple International Classical Music Awards (ICMA) and Fryderyk awards. As a soloist, he has performed in the world’s most famous concert halls, from Carnegie Hall to the Vienna Musikverein, collaborating with legendary conductors such as Zubin Mehta and Valery Gergiev. A special place in his career was held by his close collaboration with Krzysztof Penderecki, who conducted him numerous times in performances of his flute works. An impressive total of over 300 pieces dedicated to the artist by contemporary composers makes him one of the most influential figures in modern flute music worldwide, while his title of professor and numerous state decorations reflect the recognition of his unprecedented contributions to culture.
Carlos Roberto Peña Montoya
One of the most outstanding harpists of his generation. He began learning the instrument at the age of 11 under the guidance of Prof. Ruth Garita, principal harpist of the National Symphony Orchestra of Costa Rica, and subsequently with Prof. Eileen Mason, principal harpist of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. He combines his Costa Rican roots with a European education obtained at the Mozarteum in Salzburg. A laureate of international competitions and winner of the prestigious Summa Cum Laude award in Vienna, he regularly performs on major stages across Austria and Germany, collaborating with leading orchestras under the baton of world-class conductors.
