MUSIC BACKGROUND:
At the age of 8 I started to play the piano – I graduated first degree of piano after 6 years. In the same time I used to dance traditional polish dances in group “Alga” - we toured to many countries in Europe. I joined the chamber choir as well. In 2001-2007 I studied clavichord in music school, and after that I decided to start education in the Music Academy. I chose a focus in choral conducting because I love singing and interacting with people. In 2009 I joined the Mundus Cantat Choir, which is the host of International Festival of Choirs Mundus Cantat in Sopot (www.munduscantat.sopot.pl). Now I am the conductor's assistant in this choir and I teach piano and theory of music in music school.
