Michał Pękosz 

Michał Pękosz, who was artist in residence 2025, is a Polish musician, drummer and great educator. His musical journey began when he was seven years old. He completed his master's degree at the Karol Lipiński Academy of Music in Wrocław. Michał collaborates with many Polish musicians from different genres and he is now a regular guest at Tamburi Mundi.

The main goal of this course is to have fun playing the frame drum together and to experience how powerful and inspiring drumming in a group can be!

In addition to learning basic playing techniques and simple traditional rhythms from the Middle East, we will focus on the following topics:
•    Group playing and musical interaction
•    Developing musicality and the ability to listen within the ensemble
•    Working with a simple composition that brings together all the elements covered in the workshop

The composition serves as a basis for practicing rhythm, technique, and collective “flow” in a real musical context.
