 Marek
Kudlicki
is one of the few organists who earns his living almost exclusively from
appearing in concerts. He tours the world constantly and has performed
on every continent, achieving great acclaim.
He was born in Tomaszów Lubelski, Poland. He studied organ under Prof.
Joachim Grubich and conducting under Prof. Krzysztof Missona at the
Academy of Music in Cracow. He completed his diploma with distinction.
It is noteworthy that he began his musical career while still a student,
by giving concerts and recitals in many cities of Poland. In the summer
of 1973 he took part in a master course in Mechelen, Belgium, taught by
Prof. Flor Peeters, the noted interpreter of Cesar Franck’s organ works.
He continued his postgraduate studies with renowned organist, Prof. Hans
Haselböck at the Vienna Academy of Music.
