The Ignacy Jan Paderewski Academy of Music in

The artistic and scholarly offer of the Poznan Academy is further
extended by the master courses led by outstanding Polish
and foreign musicians – composers: Daniel Gallay (Israel), Piotr
Grella-Możejko (Canada), Krzysztof Meyer (Germany); musicologists:
Jerzy Pikulik (Poland), Andrzej Tuchowski (Poland); a
percussionist: Katarzyna Myćka (Germany); a pianist Andrzej
Jasiński (Poland); a violinist Marina Jaszwili (Georgia); singers:

Conferences, sessions, seminars and symposiums organized
at the Academy cover a wide theme spectrum – from the musicological
and theoretical music issues (e.g. Polish culture of the 20 th
century, music culture of the 20 th century Poznan, Ignacy Jan
Paderewski, Gregorian chant – tradition and the present day),
through the performance issues (e.g. elements of piano improvisation
in the liturgy practice, vocal phrase expression from the
Baroque to the present days) to the eurhythmic issues (e.g.
therapeutic eurhythmics, music and movement as methods of
feeling and emotion expression).

which offers books, music sheets and records, has intensified
