COLLABORATIVE PIANIST

During his studies in Poland, Mr. Karwowski played with many highly skilled instrumentalists and received praise for his collaborative skills in presenting major chamber music works. He won the 1st prize in the Intercollegiate Chamber Music Competition with Robert Łaguniak (violin) and also received honorable mentions in a duo and a quintet in the 20th International Kiejstut Bacewicz Chamber Music Competition. 
 

Upon coming to the United States, Mr. Karwowski quickly established himself as one of the most sought-after collaborative pianists in the area. During his time at Baylor, he participated in masterclass settings with famous musical figures such as Norm Lewis and Gary Wedow. Additionally, he has been taking classes with renowned vocal coach Professor Kathleen Kelly.
 

Mr. Karwowski has played for over 20 degree recitals and represented Baylor as one of the official collaborative pianists at the NATS Texoma Competition in Canyon, TX (2022). He also served as the pianist for the NATS Competition in Commerce, TX (2023) and the International Choral Conducting Masterclass at Baylor, working with Dr. Richard Sparks, Dr. Brian Schmidt, and Martina Batič.
 

Furthermore, Mr. Karwowski is an experienced church musician. For the past two years, he has been the pianist for St. Matthew Lutheran Church, where he has played in various settings. He regularly accompanies the choir, provides worship music and each year he performs the piano part in a cantata with orchestra.
