Multi-instrumentalist and composer. Mariusz Kornel Radwanski approaches the universe of music in all its diversity with the spirit of  an explorer.
Parallel to his studies of music in the Academy of Szczecin and Gdansk in Poland, Mariusz created his first group with buddies of school. The music of King Crimson, Genesis, Yes… is the source of inspiration that created their first compositions.

Later, he was awarded the first prize in guitar performance at The Royal Academy of Music in Brussels. The following years, Mariusz performed on stage and produced several recordings of guitar solo.

At the beginning of the nineties, an interest in recording techniques lead Mariusz to continue his studies at INSAS (Higher National Institute of Arts of Spectacle and Techniques of Broadcasting ) in Brussels.

In 1996, with a shared passion for folk music, he formed the traditional music group"Topaze" with whom he performed on the violin in folk balls and festivals.

With a growing interest in the Celtic style, he played traditional Irish music with the group Megahn in 1998-99.

Mariusz also performed in Antwerp with the pop group “Cabbagetown”.

In 2001 Mariusz met James Kline (Arch-Harp Guitar with 19 strings) in Aix en Provence and they decided to set up the duo “Bardou”. For this formation, Mariusz learned to play  the Nyckelharpa, a traditional  Swedish instrument.

Also Mariusz plays in shows for children, based on the books of Koen Van Biesen “De Kapitein in ik” and “Mama Lucinda”

By carrying on the life of a modern day troubadour, Mariusz meets musicians of all cultures and becomes familiar with a broad range of musical styles.
The variety of timbre that the instruments of the world offer inspires Mariusz to create new sound colors in his compositions:

2018  music for theatre performance "1618 De la rumeur au bûcher"

2019  music for documentary "Territoires de la nuit" de Guy Deflandre

Currently, Mariusz is teaching guitar, and traditional ensemble in Academy of music in Bouillon (Belgium).
