In 2001, Mariusz Patyra’s artistic career took off when he won the Niccolo Paganini International Violin Competition. At the same time, Patyra was awarded a special prize for best interpretation of the Paganini Caprices, and was presented with a copy of Paganini’s violin, “Il Cannone”. Mariusz Patyra performed on Niccolo Paganini’s original “Guarneri del Gesu” during a later concert.
Mariusz Patyra’s accomplishments launched performance tours all over the world, including Italy, Poland, Spain, Czech Republic, Russia, Austria, Germany, the United States, Mexico and Japan. He played with such distinguished orchestras as Filharmonica FondazioneArturo Toscanini, Orchestra di Roma, Orchestra Filarmonica Marchigiana, the Polish Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Polish Radio Chamber Orchestra (“Amadeus”), the Warsaw National Philharmonic Orchestra, Sinfonia Varsovia, Jalisco Philharmonic Orchestra and the Tokyo Royal Chamber Orchestra. The recordings he has made for Polish, German and Italian radio give insight into the mastery and sensitivity of this young artist.
Mariusz Patyra plays a copy of the Guarneri del Gesu 1733, built by Christian Erichson (Hannover 2003), as well as a copy of "Il Cannone" 1742, built by John.B.Erwin (Dallas 2000).
