Harpsichordist and organist Marek Toporowski is also active as a chamber musician and conductor, and serves as Professor at the Krzysztof Penderecki Academy of Music in Kraków. He is one of the most recognisable representatives of the historically informed performance movement in Poland.
He performs widely in Poland and abroad and has made numerous recordings, including the first recording of the harpsichord music by Charles Noblet, the complete works of George Frederick Pinto, and the complete piano sonatas of Hyacinthe Jadin. In 1991, he founded the ensemble Concerto Polacco, followed later by the chamber choir Sine Nomine. He has given numerous Polish premieres of major oratorio works on period instruments.
Winner of the First Prize at the 1st Wanda Landowska National Harpsichord Competition in Kraków (1985), he studied in Warsaw, Strasbourg, Saarbrücken, and Amsterdam, receiving First Prizes from the Strasbourg Conservatoire in both organ and harpsichord, as well as a Concert Diploma from the Hochschule für Musik des Saarlandes.
