Mateusz Kowalski, a Grammy-nominated guitarist, is considered one of the outstanding virtuosos of his generation. Classical Guitar Magazine describes him as a “spectacular” musician who interprets an extensive repertoire ranging from the Renaissance to contemporary works with remarkable virtuosity, stylistic sensitivity, and great musical sophistication.

Kowalski has performed in some of the world’s most prestigious concert halls, including the Musikverein in Vienna and the Shanghai Grand Theatre, and has captivated audiences in major cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Paris, and London.

He is a prize winner at prestigious competitions, including the 1st European Bach Guitar Award—one of the world’s most significant guitar competitions dedicated to the music of Johann Sebastian Bach—as well as the 2nd EuroStrings International Competition in London, a competition that brings together exclusively winners of Europe’s leading
guitar competitions.

In addition to his work as a soloist, Kowalski is also active as a teacher and gives master classes worldwide as part of international festivals. Since October 2019, he has been a lecturer at the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music in Warsaw.
