Dr Wiktor Brzuchacz
An artist whose playing reflects both the solid Gdańsk organ school and the precision acquired during his studies at the prestigious Conservatoire de Saint-Germain-en-Laye. As a laureate of the “Golden Laurel of the Young Organist” and a Doctor of Musical Arts, he combines masterful performance with a deep care for tangible cultural heritage. His dedicated efforts to preserve and restore historic instruments in Augustów and Wigry prove that for him, music is not only the art of interpretation but also a mission to safeguard historical memory. An active pedagogue at the Catholic Academy in Warsaw and an acclaimed artistic director of numerous festivals, Wiktor Brzuchacz brings to the program a repertoire requiring extraordinary technical prowess and stylistic sensitivity, ranging from the works of French Baroque masters to monumental contemporary Polish music, which will resonate with full power within the walls of the collegiate church.
“Super Trio” led by Prof. Maria Pomianowska
The ensemble achieves something extraordinary—breathing new life into the forgotten sounds of the historical Polish Republic, merging them with the dynamic energy of world music. The heart of the ensemble beats to the rhythm of the Biłgoraj suka and the Płock fiddle, instruments that (thanks to years of research and the passion of Prof. Pomianowska) have been reborn after centuries of oblivion. The lineup is completed by outstanding artists who build a bridge between Western and Eastern traditions. Piotr Kopietz, performing on the accordion and hurdy-gurdy, introduces an element of European folklore and nostalgia to the trio’s sound. Arada Mamgholi, a virtuoso of oriental frame drums, infuses the music with a Kurdish pulse and mystical chanting. Together, the artists’ performances create a multicultural dialogue rich in improvisation, proving that humanity’s musical roots spring from the very same universal need for spiritual expression.
