Miriam is defined by her unyielding ambition and relentless pursuit of virtuosic mastery. She revels in the beauty of chamber music, earning recognition for her expressive interpretations and unwavering commitment to historical authenticity.

Miriam is equally captivated by the interplay between music and folklorism, weaving the alluring aspects of classical music into her performances. Beyond her musical pursuits, Miriam is a dedicated educator, guiding students to connect deeply with music by teaching them to listen and feel it. Miriam holds a Bachelor's degree in Baroque violin from the Frederic Chopin University of Music in Warsaw. Currently pursuing her Master's in Baroque violin at HEM Geneva, expected to complete in 2025. In 2023, Miriam received the prestigious Young Poland 2023 scholarship, which facilitated the acquisition of her Baroque violins, further enriching her artistic journey.
