About

Michał Stanikowski was celebrated in the media as “one of the most talented and exciting guitarists of the new generation”. Today, he is among the most renowned Polish guitarists. His sensitive, virtuoso interpretations and technical perfection have established his reputation on the international guitar scene.

Stanikowski has won almost 20 music prizes, including the European guitar competition “Andres Segovia” in Velbert (Germany), as well as the international guitar competitions “Axis Gitaar Concours” in Enschede (the Netherlands), “Anna – Amalia” in Weimar, “Guitar Meetings” in Sanok and the “Joaquín – Rodrigo” in Olsztyn (Poland). He has also received recognition of his achievement through numerous scholarships from the Ministry of Culture and Art of the Republic of Poland and a scholarship from the foundation “Young Poland”, as well as being accepted at the Weimarer Exzellenzschule and receiving a scholarship from the foundation “Yehudi Menuhin Live Music Now”.

In addition to radio and television productions, he released nine albums between 2007 and 2019, which were highly praised by expert critics, working together with music producers in Poland (RECART), Germany (Verlag am Eschbach) and Great Britain (SLE – London – Records) on soloist, chamber music and orchestral recordings and releases. Michał Stanikowski is also a regular guest at well-known festivals such as the “Guitar Foundation of America Convention” (USA), the “Guildford Music Festival” (Great Britain), “Le Festival International de Guitare de l’île de Ré” (France), the “Grumo Festival” (Italy, USA), the “Warsaw Guitar Festival” and the “Wrocław Guitar Festival GITARA” (Poland), performing concerts, participating in juries, premiering pieces, giving master classes and workshops, and presenting lectures on the theme of “mental training”.
