Website:



A composer and percussionist, Ptaszyńska was comprehensively educated in the percussion, having studied in Poznań with Jerzy Zgodziński, one of Poland's foremost percussionists, and then continuing her education at the Cleveland Institute of Music, where she earned an Artist Diploma Degree in percussion instruments. The percussion has been central to most of her career. She has taught it at several American universities and colleges alongside lecturing composition. Twice a laureate of the Percussive Arts Society in the United States and recipient of its honorary award, Ptaszyńska has been its member and sat on its Board. She has also organized the International Percussion Workshops in Bydgoszcz, and served as an artistic advisor at the Polish Music Festival at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at the Lincoln Center in 1994 and 1996. Since 1972 Ptaszyńska has lived in the United States. More than that, she has been composing for the percussion, most of her works featuring this instrument in the forefront rather than the background.
