Górewicz Łukasz

Łukasz Górewicz was born in Szczecin in 1980. He is a violinist, composer, arranger, conductor and session musician who moves freely between classical music, jazz, avant-garde, electronic music, hip-hop and music for film and visual media. From the very beginning of his musical education, he sought to develop his own distinctive sound, combining classical technique with contemporary forms of expression.

For many years, he has collaborated with the Mieczysław Karłowicz Philharmonic in Szczecin and the Opera at the Castle, with which he toured Germany and Italy as a concertmaster. He was also associated with the Baltic Neopolis Orchestra, contributing to three albums and several original projects, including the string-and-electronic production In Fusion We Trust. As a member of the Radomiensis String Quartet, he performed at events accompanying the 2002 FIFA World Cup in Japan and South Korea. He also took part in concerts celebrating the Chopin Year at Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall in New York.

He recorded his first album at the age of 16 with Tymon Tymański and Grupa 3 Metry. Since 1999, he has been a member of Ecstasy Project, with which he has released eight albums and performed dozens of concerts across Europe. The album Realium was recognised by the American magazine “All About Jazz”, while the group’s recordings were featured on the compilation The Best of Polish Jazz 2005.

He has also collaborated with Tomasz Gwinciński on music, theatre and film projects. As a violinist, composer and arranger, he has worked with artists including Tymon Tymański, Mikołaj Trzaska, Jon Rose, Marcin Świetlicki, Kasia Nosowska, Paulina Przybysz, Patryk Zakrocki, Marek Dyjak and Matheo, as well as the bands Oczi Cziorne, S_in City Tribe and Fractal Tree.

He has composed and performed music for numerous theatre, film, radio and television productions, created for institutions including Polish Radio Szczecin, Polish Television, the Contemporary Theatre in Szczecin, the Groteska Theatre in Kraków, the Powszechny Theatre in Łódź, the Wrocław Pantomime Theatre, and many puppet and drama theatres throughout Poland.
