The Guitar and Harp Department at the Krzysztof Penderecki Academy of Music prepares young musicians for careers as soloists, chamber musicians and pedagogues.
\nWe offer studies under the guidance of recognised specialists<\/a><\/strong> in our field.<\/p>\n

We place great emphasis on the versatility of education. Students have the opportunity to participate in classes broadening their knowledge and artistic horizons, such as: chamber music, arrangements for guitar ensembles, guitar literature, improvisation, jazz improvisation, recording practice, methodology, or early music performance practice.
\nStudents can also consult a music psychology specialist.<\/p>\n

The aim of the Harp<\/strong> programme is to show the broad range of performance possibilities of this instrument. Working on solo repertoire and on the knowledge of the widest possible orchestral repertoire is at the centre of those activities. Those wishing to develop their skills on the level harp have the opportunity to play the newest harp purchased by our Academy, the Camac Excalibur. We welcome the summer by organizing the Krakow Harp Workshops together with Fryderyk Chopin Secondary State School of Music in Krakow.<\/p>\n

The Guitar and Harp Department cooperates on a regular basis with recognized specialists<\/strong>:
\n– Tatiana Stachak, who conducts classes in guitar methodology,
\n– Jakub Nedoborek, who conducts classes in the introduction to flamenco music,
\n– Since the academic year 2021\/2022, an eminent guitarist and pedagogue Carlo Marchione, professor at the Royal Conservatory in Maastricht, has been the visiting professor.
\n– Professor Florence Sitruk, who gives lectures and open lessons for harpists.
\nIn the next academic year, a lot of attention will be given to harp improvisation and arrangements under the guidance of our UK and Italian guests Eleanor Turner and Paola Devoti.<\/p>\n

– The Guitar and Harp Department organizes cyclic events, concerts, auditions, seminars and master classes with eminent artists of our speciality (in the current academic year they have included, among others:
\nHopkinson Smith, Leszek Potasinski, Claudio Maccari Paolo Pugliese, Ewa Jab\u0142czy\u0144ska, Dariusz Kupi\u0144ski).<\/p>\n

The Department\u2019s artistic and scientific activities have their annual culmination in the form of the Bobrowicz Days<\/strong>, which feature performances by renowned soloists and ensembles, lectures, open lessons, meetings with violin makers, exhibitions of instruments and musical publications. This year’s Bobrowicz Days are scheduled for 20-22 May.<\/p>\n

The Guitarists’ Research Group (Ko\u0142o Naukowe Gitarzyst\u00f3w)<\/strong>\u00a0operating at the Department is very active, organising meetings with violin makers, physiotherapy workshops, concerts and auditions. It also participates in organizing student exchange concerts with other music schools, e.g. the F. Chopin University of Music in Warsaw and the K. Szymanowski Academy of Music in Katowice.<\/p>\n

The Department has copies of baroque and romantic guitars<\/a>, which are used to work on historical repertoire.
\nStudents of the Department have access to accompanists (piano, pianoforte, harpsichord).<\/p>\n

They also have the opportunity to take part in the Academy competition entitled “I play with an orchestra” (“Gram z orkiestr\u0105”), the winners of which perform as soloists with orchestras of Polish philharmonics.<\/p>\n
