Andrzej Kosendiak

Andrzej Kosendiak is a Polish conductor, composer, and music director celebrated for his work reviving and championing early music, particularly Polish Baroque and Renaissance compositions. As the founder and artistic director of the Wrocław Baroque Ensemble, he’s dedicated to breathing new life into overlooked sacred works by composers like Marcin Mielczewski, Jacek Różycki, and Bartłomiej Pękiel. His recordings often spotlight rare liturgical music, blending historical authenticity with emotional resonance.

Kosendiak also serves as director of the National Forum of Music in Wrocław, where he curates ambitious projects that bridge Poland’s musical past with contemporary creativity. His recent releases—spanning lush choral works, intricate Mass settings, and live performances of 17th-century treasures—showcase his knack for unearthing gems from Central Europe’s rich sacred music tradition. Whether conducting forgotten vespers or highlighting Renaissance polyphony, Kosendiak’s passion for preserving these sonic legacies shines through.
