DESCRIPTION
The artists form a musical and life duo, which translates into a deep artistic synergy and musical understanding, consequently leading to profoundly sensitive and passionate, unforgettable artistic creations.
Adam, as a leading cellist of the young generation, has been appointed principal cellist of the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra (NOSPR). Furthermore, he performs extensively as a soloist and chamber musician on both Polish and international stages. He is also a member of the internationally recognised Polish Cello Quartet.
Anna, a pianist devoted to chamber music, regularly performs in various instrumental ensembles. She collaborates with musicians preparing for international music competitions, and, as a highly sought-after musical partner and tutor, is repeatedly invited by institutions such as NOSPR, Cavatina Hall, Silesian Philharmonic, and the International Cello Academy. Anna’s stage companions appreciate her sensitivity and unique approach to the idea of partnership in music.
In addition to their concert activities, the artists are fully committed to sharing their knowledge and expertise as faculty members at the Academy of Music in Katowice. Additionally, they conduct courses and workshops at institutions such as the Krzysztof Penderecki European Centre for Music in Lusławice or as part of the International Cello Academy in Nysa.
Anna and Adam are also the creators of the educational project ‘What does my piece sound like? Online Music Library,’ supporting young musicians in their artistic growth, developed as part of the Culture on the Web programme.
In 2025, the duo released its first album Tour de Paris, featuring works by composers associated with the French capital – Francis Poulenc, Nadia Boulanger, Szymon Laks, and Paul Tortelier.
