About me

Background: I am a native of Poland and a classically trained, multilingual violinist with 11 years of conservatory-level training at music schools across my home country. During this time, I had the privilege of participating in international music courses, workshops, and masterclasses, including the International Music Courses in Łańcut, the Summer Music Academy at the Music Academy in Łódź, and orchestra projects in Vilnius, Lithuania; Košice, Slovakia; and Tuscany, Italy. Among my most memorable projects were performing as the violinist in the charity theatrical play Spowiedź Diabła and performing in the Polish FIlm Orchestra.

Undergraduate Studies: While pursuing my undergraduate degree in music at Weber State University, I earned honorable mentions and placed in multiple state-level competitions. Highlights include performing Dvořák’s Violin Concerto with the Weber State University Orchestra, receiving honorable mentions in the 2021 and 2024 String Fest Competitions, and being recognized for the best solo performance of a Bach work in the 2024 String Fest. Beyond formal performance and teaching, I also served as a church musician, performing as a violinist, pianist, and cantor during Mass.

Teaching: My teaching experience includes working with the String Project at Weber State University, serving as a String Methods class intern, and providing private lessons in both Poland and the United States. Several of my students have been recognized in competitions, including earning honorable mentions at Utah’s String Fest.

Currently, I perform nationwide as part of Duo Cantella, a classical guitar and violin ensemble I co-founded with my husband. I am also the founder of Holiday Strings & Voices, a collaborative initiative in Utah that combines choir and string quartet performances to bring high-quality live music to diverse audiences. In addition, I am pursuing graduate studies at the University of Mississippi, where I serve as a Graduate Assistant in the music department.
