composer, b. 20th December 1982 in Warsaw. He graduated from the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music in Warsaw – Postgraduate Degree in Advanced Studies in Composition in professor Paweł Łukaszewski’s class (2015), and Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in Warsaw – Master Degree in theology in the field of sacral music (2012). PhD Student of the Pontifical University of John Paul II in Cracow (from 2015). An extraordinary member of ZAiKS (Section “A”) & STOART, and a Founding member of Scientific Society EDUCARE (Art Section) settled in Pułtusk.
Composer creates neotonal impressionism picture in his music, experimenting often with sophisticated and unique instrumentation. Thanks to it, an artistic climate becomes unrepeatable, and spaces in which the Composer moves, magnetize a receiver. Sebastian Szymański’s music expresses the longing for the beauty being creatively distilled by the skills of sound painting.
Sebastian Szymański`s music was performed by: Anna Mikołajczyk-Niewiedział, Artur Janda, Tomasz Lupa, Monika Quinn, Grzech Piotrowski, Sławek Jaskułke, Jan Łukaszewski, Michał Klauza, Polish Chamber Choir, Choir of the Warsaw-Praga Cathedral „Musica Sacra”, Baltic Polish Philharmonic Orchestra, Polish Radio Symphony Orchestra and others.
Composer`s masterpieces were presented at various concerts and scientific conferences, and broadcasted by: TVP, TVP Kultura, TVN, TV Puls 2, Polish Radio, Radio WPRB (USA), Cinema City and MultiKino.
