Professional
At the moment I hold a professorship in musicology at the University of Freiburg im Breisgau and otherwise continue to work as a freelance singer, instrumentalist and conductor (Ensemble Peregrina, Ensemble Dragma, conducting the Radio Choir of the Polish Radio) as well as a voice teacher (private).
