Krzysztof Falkowski
Composer, arranger and conductor, born in 1996. Graduate of the Stanisław Moniuszko Academy of Music in Gdańsk, in the composition class of Dr Marek Czerniewicz (diploma with honours 2021).
The result of my wide musical inspirations, starting with composers such as John Williams, Krzysztof Penderecki and Michael Jackson, is the creation of music both classical as well as film and contemporary music.
Works
I am particularly close to arranging, which I have been involved with for over 12 years. At the beginning it was works for Brass Band, in which I trained not only the composing technique, but also the performing and conducting skills, conducting rehearsals and concerts. For several years I have been cooperating with the vocal ensemble 5/6, for which I write both arrangements and original music.
I have been awarded at numerous composition competitions, both national and international. My works can be heard at many concerts, galas and festivals in Poland and abroad (including Germany, Peru, Lithuania, Denmark, USA).
