Stanisław Strzelec, Szymon

Born in 1990 in Cracow, he graduated from Marcin Kmiecik’s violin class in the Władysław Żeleński State Secondary School of Music in Cracow (2011). In the same year he started composition studies with Zbigniew Bargielski at the Music Academy in Cracow. President of the “Il Cannone” Composition Students’ Academic Club at Cracow’s Academy since October 2012. His main interests include formal constructivism and xenharmonic music. His approach to work with the sound material may well be compared to that of a sculptor: a result of his inherent polymodal synaesthesia.
