In 1984 he won the international organ competition Grand Prix de Chartres. From 1986 to 1992 he was titular organist of Chartres Cathedral, and from 1992 to 2011 professor at the Strasbourg Conservatory. He is currently professor at the Paris Conservatory and titular organist of the Saint-Severin church in that city. He has given concerts in almost all European countries, as well as in North and South America, China, Japan and South Korea. He is regularly invited to give master classes and to serve on the jury of many international organ competitions.
ÈxQuartet is a String Quartet consisting of members of the Szczecin Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra named after M. Karłowicz. The formation combines artists who are graduates of various musical environments: Szczecin, Wrocław and Warszawa. The performers perform as chamber musicians, soloists, concertmasters, which gives the opportunity for confrontation and a diverse perspective on musical performance. The primary goal of the group is to present works in a different form of expression than before. In 2020, ÉxQuartet recorded its 3 debut albums New Music For String Quartet with contemporary music (the albums received the title of laureate of the Global Music Awards 2021).
