PIANO. Krzysztof Małek is a Polish pianist residing in Sydney, Australia. He has graduated with highest
distinction for extraordinary artistic achievements from a special talents school- Z. Brzewski State Music
High School in Warsaw. He had studied with Teresa Manasterska at the Chopin Academy of Music in Warsaw,
Victor Makarov at the Australian Institute of Music in Sydney and Lee Kum Sing at the Vancouver Academy
of Music in Canada.
Krzysztof is a prizewinner at a number of national and international competitions. At an early age of 10
he won his first national contest which was soon followed by his debut with an orchestra. In 1997 he was a
prizewinner at the National Paderewski Competition, in 1999 he received the Second Prize at the International
Chopin Competition in Vilnius and in 2001 he won the First Prize at the International Bacewicz Competition in
Lodz. In 2007 he was awarded First Prize and Gold Medal at the Chopin Competition in Sydney.
Since his successes in piano competitions Krzysztof continues to travel and perform around the world. So far
music has taken him to nearly twenty countries in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia. He has made
a number of archive recordings for radio and television in several countries and has also played the main
role of Frederic in a film about Chopin. In 2007 his first DVD featuring Grieg Piano Concerto was released
internationally and in recognition of his achievements he was awarded a prestigious prize-scholarship by
the Polish Ministry of Culture. In 2008 Krzysztof received a Distinguished Talent Permanent Residency of
Australia.
VOICES> Teresa Rayner received her earliest musical training in
her native Poland and attracted attention as a child with
the beauty of her lyric soprano voice. Her initial successes in
Australia were in two G&S productions at the original Canberra
High School singing the title role in Iolanthe and Elsie in The
Yeoman of the Guard.
Whilst overseas for ten years, most of them in Canada, she
specialised in oratorio and recital work. On her return she
was a Shell Aria finalist in the 1980’s which deepened her
interest in opera. Since then she has sung a diverse range of
roles from Monteverdi’s Poppea to Adele in Johann Strauss’
Die Fledermaus and Adina in Donizetti’s L’Elisir d’amore. She
also created the role of Marion in the world premier of Colin
Brumby’s opera Summer Carol. Her favourite role was that
of the Countess in Mozart’s Marriage of Figaro. In addition
to her work in opera she has also maintained her interest in
recital work.
More recently Theresa’s long time interest in teaching
has expanded through her studio Bright Voices where she
specialises in the development and nurture of young voices.
Tomasz Tomczonek was born in
1976 in Białystok, Poland. He received
a Masters degree in Education (Cultural
Studies) at the University of Białystok
in 2002. During his student years he
was a member of Białystok University
Choir, performing at international
music festivals in Poland, England,
Switzerland and Germany. After
graduation he commenced work in his
chosen profession, subsequently joining
the Białystok Philharmonic Opera Choir
(now Podlasie Philharmonia and Opera)
before moving to Ireland in 2006. He
was a member of various church choirs in
Poland and Ireland and since moving to
Canberra in 2009 has been singing with
the Cathedral Choir in Manuka. This is his
third performance with soprano Theresa
Rayner.
