“…Baldych
gives his violin a voice and emotional power that have been too rarely
heard in recent decades and offers a fresh take on the instrument for
the contemporary scene” —All About Jazz
Violinist and composer. A
graduate of the Academy of Music in Katowice, tutored by Henryk
Gembalski. Since 2012 he has been associated with ACT music publisher
seated in Munich.
Dubbed “a violin prodigy”, he started his
career at the age of 14. He was promptly recognised as an innovator
combining the achievements of classical music and the contemporary
language of the violin with an improviser’s talent. In a short time, he
created his own style, which became an inspiration for a new generation
of improvising violinists.
He has presented his music at the most
important jazz festivals and in prestigious concert halls, in countries
such as: Poland, Germany, South Korea, China, Japan, the United States,
Canada, Austria, Iceland, Portugal, Azerbaijan, the Netherlands,
Sweden, Norway, Finland, Italy, Spain, and Indonesia. He has performed
and recorded with extraordinary artists such as: Yaron Herman, Agata
Zubel, Cezary Duchnowski, Helge Lien, Aaron Parks, Lars Danielsson, Nils
Landgren, Iiro Rantala, Marius Neset, Jacob Karlzon, Joachim Kuhn, and
Billy Cobham. He has received numerous prizes and awards, such as: The
Grand Prix and the individual award of the Jazz nad Odrą festival
(2006), ECHO Jazz - a German music industry award (2013), the Polish
gold Cross of Merit (2016) and the Decoration of Honor Meritorious for
Polish Culture (2016). In 2020, together with the Adam Bałdych Quartet,
he became a finalist of the prestigious BMW Welt Jazz 2020 award, with
results to be announced in January 2021.
Adam Bałdych has been
more and more active as a classical composer, writing pieces
commissioned by renowned orchestras. In 2015 he composed the
Mozaika-Impresje piece commissioned by the Szczecin Baltic Neopolis
Orchestra, and in 2016 he wrote Antiphona to the texts found in the
Qumran caves for the Orkiestra Muzyki Nowej. In 2019 he prepared the
Early Birds Symphony commissioned by the AUKSO orchestra for the
Auksodrone festival, and he is about to realise further commissions for
AUKSO. In 2021 Adam Bałdych’s new composition, commissioned by the
Stuttgarter Kammerorchester, will be premiered in Stuttgart.
Adam
Bałdych is appreciated for his creativity in the field of jazz and
