Katarzyna Myćka is a musician from Stuttgart with Polish roots, born in 1972 who discovered the marimba as her ideal medium for musical expression while studying at music academies in Gdansk, Stuttgart, and Salzburg. Numerous prizes and awards at international music competitions then followed, as well as performances at the most important marimba festivals, like those in Osaka, Linz and Minneapolis and soloists with famous orchestras around the world, such as the Stuttgart Philharmonic Orchestra, Bochum and Göttingen Symphony Orchestras, Polish Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra Sopot, Vienna and Prague Chamber Orchestras, as well as those from Heilbronn, Beijing Symphony Orchestra, Israeli Camerata Jerusalem Orchestra, Philharmonic Orchestras from Maribor, Neubrandenburg and Vogtland ... It all promoted Katarzyn Myćka to the pioneer and one of the leading musicians of this still young instrument. The large concert marimba has only existed in its current form since the mid-1980s.
