Biography & awards
One of the best young-generation Polish violinists
“Anyone who has seen her on stage and had the opportunity to listen to the sounds emanating from her violin will remember those moments for a long time, and the thrill of emotions experienced during the concert will linger with them for a while. Extraordinary expression, an incredibly challenging virtuoso performance, fingers dancing on the strings, and a unique, characteristic tone of sound.”
