Natalia Lidia Mazurek

Poland

Natalia Mazurek was born in 2012. She plays the viola and violin as well composes music.

She started learning to play the violin when she was 6 years old, after that discovered the viola, which has a deeper, warmer sound and gives you the ability to play music of a different nature.

Natalia tried to compose from the beginning of learning to play the violin and viola, because she wanted to create something of her own, personal in music.

She is currently a student of Włodzimierz Radin-Rutkowski at Feliks Nowowiejski Complex of Music Schools in Szczecin. In this short time of learning to play, Natalia has already received many awards for playing the violin and viola in national (including competitions organised by CEA in Warsaw) and international competitions. Her compositions were also internationally awarded.

Natalia has inspirations not always related to music, for example to nature, especially unique rare species or endangered animals.Natalia is also inspired by Slavic mythology She performed the song "Południcy's Dance" at the Petit Palau del Palau de la Musica Catalana in Barcelona and at Weil Recital Hall in Carnegie Hall in New York. Moreover, her piece Mirror Storm was presented by the Camerata Zurich string orchestra in the final of the composition competition, for which she received second prize. Her piece "Axolotl", which received a platinum award in Grand Maestro International Music Competition, was presented at an online concert. These achievements are even more significant because she is mainly an autodidact in the field of composition. In her free time, Natalia plays concerts for kindergartens. She is also interested in painting, computer graphics, photography and Far Eastern culture. She trains karate (has a brown belt) and likes to take care of animals and in any summer vacation visits Shetland pony farm
