Katarzyna Glowickas
artistic output embraces musical media of every kind,
as she collaborates with stage directors, choreographers, visual artists,
musicians and conductors on original works for opera, dance and symphonic
orchestra. Her works are distinguishable by their force of expression and colour. They have sought out a unique language which she complements through the use of computer technology, as both musical instrument and compositional tool.
Her works have been premiered by renowned international ensembles and
soloists such as Ensemble Recherche, Holland Symfonia, the Netherlands Vocal
Laboratorium, Ensemble de Ereprijs, British countertenor Jonathan Peter
Kenny and saxophonist Ties Mellema, among many others. The chamber piece,
Microgalaxies, was commissioned and performed at the Wien Modern festival in
Austria while other compositions have been performed at the Biennale di
Venezia, Warsaw Autumn, De Suite at Ijsbreker, Gaudeamus Music Week,
International Women in New Music festival in California, ICMC in Barcelona
and the Musica Electronica Nova in Poland.
Katarzyna had an early success when her orchestral work Gindry won the
Polish Adam Didur Composition Competition. Since then her works have
received recognition as finalists for the Genesis Prize for Opera in London
and the Holland Symfonia Competition, while gaining awards from the
European Commission, Polish Society of Contemporary Music and the Musica
Sacra competition and Bourges competition for electronic music.
Katarzyna graduated from the Wroclaw Academy of Music in Poland under her
mentor Grazyna Pstrokonska-Nawratil before pursuing postgraduate studies at
the Royal Conservatory of Music in The Hague under Louis Andriessen, and at
the Strasbourg Conservatory under Ivan Fedele. Her fervent belief in the new
computer medium has taken her to Northern Ireland where she is a
PhD candidate at the Sonic Arts Research Centre, focusing on
compositional systems. In 2006, her work Opalescence was short-listed by the SPNM.
