Review from Tim Stuart - official accompanist of The International Music Festival in Llangollen.

"It's been a privilege working with Urszula. She brings her expertise and musicality to bear on a huge variety of music: solo cello, classics from the romantic repertoire, cello concertos, 'crossover', classical favourites and even Richard Rogers! Her music has been enjoyed by all her audiences, and we hope she will be staying in North Wales for a long time."

Concert in Tŷ Pawb, Market St, Wrexham LL13 8BB, UK

On behalf of us all in Live Music Showcase thank you so much for your recital on Thursday as we launched the Autumn series of lunchtime concerts. The audience response said it all… it was a wonderful and varied programme of music brought to a brilliant close with your rendition of ‘The Swan’ from The Carnival of the Animals. Such graceful beauty in music. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

With kind regards Derek Jones

Concert in St.John's the Baptist Church Chester

Dear Urszula Thank you very much for a lovely performance of the Dvorak. It is a gorgeous cello concerto and I did so enjoy it. I thought you played it extremely well, very poetic especially in those bars towards the end of the last movement. So glad that Dvorak did not allow his cello mentor to put a cadenza here!

Best wishes Alan Lees Conductor

Concert in St John The Baptist Church, Chester, UK

Thank you ever so much Ursula. I really enjoyed yesterday and congratulations on your fantastic performance. I hope to work with you again in the near future too!

Concert held at the beautiful ‘church in the hollow’, St. David’s Catholic Church Pantasaph on June 1st 2019.

 

Fr. John Cavanagh OFM. Cap (parish priest)| commented:

 

‘We were very pleased at the fairly modest ‘turn out’ of our countryside neighbours from a number of surrounding villages who had responded to our invitation to what was quite a new venture for us at the friary church. We judged this fund raising event for the church renovation fund to be a very worthwhile one.

 

Not only that, but thanks to the wonderful expertise of the two artistes, Urszula Krukowska-Byzdra and Tim Stuart, we were treated to a veritable musical feast, comprising works from well known composers such as J.S. Bach, Faure, Vivaldi, and Jenkins.

 

I experienced a magnificent performance by Ursula our local talented cellist, for the very first time, leaving me very impressed indeed.

 

 I was pleasantly astonished too by and marvelled at Tim’s ‘magical touch’ on our (ancient) organ which suddenly took on a whole new exciting life of its own.

 

A big ‘thank you’ then to our artistes and to those who supported our new venture.
