Paweł Motyczyński performs regularly as a soloist with leading orchestras and in renowned concert halls across Germany, Poland, Switzerland, Austria, Denmark, and the Netherlands. He earned his Doctor of Arts degree at the Academy of Music in Kraków under the guidance of Chopin specialist Professor Mirosław Herbowski. A prizewinner at international piano competitions in Rome, Kraków, and Budapest, he also participated in the 17th International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw.

Known for his versatility, Paweł has performed in a wide range of venues, from traditional concert halls to more unexpected settings. He gave a series of Chopin recitals at the Polish Pavilion during EXPO 2015 in Milan and took part in the European concert series Piano as a Reflection of European Culture, with performances in Poland, France, Austria, Moldova, and North Macedonia. His expertise is also reflected in his work as a pedagogue – since 2020, he has taught and accompanied advanced-level students at the University of Music and Theatre in Rostock, and since 2023, he has also been a faculty member at the Institute of Church Music and Musicology at the University of Greifswald. In addition, he serves on the board of the German Association of Music Artists in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (DTKV-MV).

Paweł curates his concert programs with a deep sense of atmosphere, often drawing inspiration from nature – mountains, northern forests, and cold northern landscapes. His repertoire resonates with the same natural imagery that has inspired many Scandinavian and Baltic composers. Through his playing, he creates vivid musical landscapes that invite listeners into a rich, immersive experience where the conscious and unconscious meet. His performances often leave audiences deeply moved, long after the final note has faded.
