Maria Włoszczowska
With a focus on directing, solo and chamber work, our Artistic Partner in classical music is violinist Maria Włoszczowska. Working with the Royal Northern Sinfonia and alongside Principal Conductor Dinis Sousa, Maria will continue to establish her musical home in the North East. Through exploring new music and ideas, and collaborations with international classical artists, Maria will help take the orchestra into bold new directions.
“I’m so excited to embark on a new adventure at The Glasshouse as Artistic Partner. It’s an incredible opportunity for me to work with the orchestra in a different way.
“The musicians have become great friends over the last three years and I’m really excited to incorporate their personalities and their creativity into the programmes that we do together.”
