In 2019 he won the 2nd prize in one of the most important piano competitions in the United States – the "Hilton Head Piano Competition".

Penderecki Youth Orchestra was established in 2018 by bringing together talented young people aged 16 to 19 associated with Lusławice. By participating in the projects of the Krzysztof Penderecki European Centre for Music, the orchestra supports the institution's mission of being a meeting place for students with masters, young talents with renowned artists. During the upcoming concert, PYO under the baton of Maciej Tworek will present Grażyna Bacewicz's Concerto for String Orchestra, Krzysztof Penderecki's Chaconne from Polish Requiem, and Antonín Dvořák's Serenade for Strings in E major, Op. 22.
