Bartosz Glowacki, accordion

Praised for creating "a poignant and distinctive sound world" (Fiona Maddocks, The

Observer), Bartosz has performed in a number of prestigious concert halls including

Wigmore Hall, Royal Festival Hall, Purcell Room, Salle Cortot, Colston Hall, Studio SI of The

Polish National Radio, and many others. Alongside his solo work, Bartosz is an extremely

active chamber musician. He is a founding member of the leading tango quintet, Deco

Ensemble, and during his career he has collaborated with a wide range of celebrated

musicians including Nigel Kennedy, Trevor Pinnock, Atom String Quartet, and Tanita

Tikaram. Bartosz has also worked with musical institutions like The Royal Opera House, The

Royal Ballet, The National Theatre, London Symphony Orchestra, The Chroma Ensemble,

and London Sinfonietta. His debut solo album, which features original accordion

compositions along with adventurous transcriptions, will be released in Autumn 2019.

A prize-winning graduate of the Royal Academy of Music, Bartosz won the Polish Young

Musician of the Year in 2009, following which he represented Poland in the final of the

Eurovision Young Musicians Competition in Vienna. He is also the recipient of a Zygmunt

Zaleski Stichting Scholarship and he won the Sir John Manduell Prize at The Bromsgrove

International Musicians' Competition 2018.

Bartosz Glowacki is one of the leading lights of a new generation of accordionists. His

artistic goal is to continue improving awareness of the accordion in classical music, as

well as to develop a new repertoire for his instrument.

(see signs in hospital square for directions)

by equipping outstanding musicians with the tools, skills, experience, and

networks they need to build and sustain rewarding and profitable careers.

Through an annual competitive audition process, we select classical soloists

and chamber ensembles, as well as jazz, folk, and world musicians. These

‘CMF Artists’ then engage in an innovative two-year programme, which

includes artistic and business mentoring, as well as professional development

workshops. These workshops cover a range of topics such as managing

finances, tax and pensions, legal input on copyright and contracts, plus

presentation and interview skills, promotion and publicity strategies, and

much more.

We work with the CMF Artists to develop professional promotional tools such

as websites, photos, recordings, and videos, as well as providing help with

commissioning and other projects to ensure that each musician develops a

unique niche and selling point. We present CMF Artists in our own recital series

and residencies and arrange performance opportunities at venues and

festivals throughout the UK and beyond, as well as securing airtime on BBC

Radio 3 and promotion through online, print, and social media.
