Justyna Woś

Justyna Woś serves as an Assistant Professor at Feliks Nowowiejski Academy of Music in Bydgoszcz, where she combines pedagogical responsibilities with active performance as a harpsichord specialist in early music. Her institutional affiliation centers on advancing baroque performance practice through both teaching and artistic production.

Her academic training includes:

• Graduate studies at Fryderyk Chopin University of Music in Warsaw under Professor Władysław Kłosiewicz
• Erasmus program at Hochschule für Musik und Theater Leipzig with Nicholas Parle and Tobias Schade
• Supplementary studies at Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Basel under Andrea Marcon

Dr. Woś's research focuses on historical authenticity in baroque interpretation, emphasizing period instrument performance and revival of neglected repertoire. Her work bridges scholarly rigor with practical musicianship, particularly through collaborations with ensembles like Arte Dei Suonatori and performances on original 300+ year-old instruments at venues including Leipzig's Grassi Museum. This dedication positions her at the forefront of contemporary early music revival movements in Central Europe.

Her artistic contributions have been recognized through competitive funding:

• Kazimierz Bartkowiak Foundation scholarship
• Multiple top doctoral student scholarships
• Rector's scholarship from her home institution
• Mayor of Bydgoszcz cultural grant enabling the "Duelli Barocchi" concert series

Dr. Woś leverages institutional support to drive cultural initiatives, notably organizing the Bydgoszcz Baroque Scene festival while maintaining international performance engagements. Her scholarship from city authorities directly facilitated innovative programming that bridges academic research with public concert experiences, demonstrating effective grant utilization for community engagement.

She maintains active artistic partnerships with major institutions including Pomeranian, Częstochowa, and Kraków Philharmonics, and participates in specialized ensembles focused on historical performance. Her role extends beyond performance to festival curation, evidenced by her position on the Bydgoszcz Baroque Scene organizing team where she shapes programming that connects academic research with public audiences.
