Andrzej Nikodemowicz

**Andrzej Nikodemowicz** (1925–2017) was a Polish composer, pianist, and educator whose music carried the weight of history and spiritual introspection. Born in Lwów (now Lviv, Ukraine), he lived through WWII and the Soviet-era restrictions that suppressed his avant-garde works, which were deemed politically risky. Despite these challenges, his compositions—marked by intricate harmonies and emotional depth—blended modern techniques with mystical and religious themes, reflecting his Catholic faith.

A quiet rebel, Nikodemowicz spent decades teaching at the Catholic University of Lublin while his music flew under the radar. Late in life, he gained recognition for his piano sonatas, choral works, and chamber pieces, like those featured on recent releases such as *Piano Sonatas /Keska-piano* and *Works for Violin & Piano*. Posthumously, his legacy thrives as musicians rediscover his hauntingly beautiful soundscapes, proving his timeless tagline: *Music of Our Time* isn’t just a title—it’s a vibe. 🎹✨
