About me

I work as a harpsichord technician, tuner and conservator of historical keyboard instruments, combining craftsmanship with a performer’s perspective; providing professional services to institutions, festivals, and ensembles across Poland and abroad. Currently, I am responsible for the historical keyboard instruments at the Uniwersytet Muzyczny Fryderyka Chopina in Warsaw.

My interest in the technical aspects of historical keyboards developed alongside my performance training as a harpsichordist (HMT in Leipzig) and organist (UMFC in Warsaw). A formative moment was an Erasmus+ traineeship at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Leipzig, where I worked as a curator of historical keyboard instruments, caring for an extensive university collection including harpsichords, virginals, chamber organs, clavichords and historical fortepianos. In addition, I completed a carpentry course as well as postgraduate studies in wood conservation at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences.

I have gained further experience through collaboration with builders, restorers and technicians in Poland, Germany, France, the United Kingdom and the United States. This includes a placement at Zuckermann Harpsichords International in Stonington and an ongoing cooperation with SLJ Budowa Organów in Pruszcz Gdański. I also work regularly at the Atelier Marc Ducornet in Paris.

My hands-on projects include building instruments such as a harpsichord, spinet and ottavino from kits, as well as participating in numerous renovation and restoration projects in Poland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, the UK and the US.

My professional activity includes work for the Warsaw Philharmonic, the Polish Radio and the Royal Castle in Warsaw, as well as for international festivals such as Bachfest Leipzig and Wratislavia Cantans. I have also worked on CD recordings in Poland and the United Kingdom and contributed to orchestral projects of the European Union Baroque Orchestra, where I also served as a tutor.

Alongside my technical work, I am involved in education, teaching both harpsichord performance and instrument maintenance at the UMFC, as well as sharing knowledge about harpsichords at various events.

I remain active as a harpsichordist and continuo player, most regularly as an accompanist and tutor during the Summer Methodical Courses of Early Music in Warsaw.

My harpsichord performance experience – recognised with several prizes at harpsichord competitions in Vilnius, Poznań and Kraków – directly informs my technical work, allowing me to approach each project with the needs of the musician, repertoire and the style of an instrument in mind.
