Kendoka
"Polish pianist Peter Tomasz grew up in a small village, playing the organ in ancient churches—a childhood steeped in Bach and Chopin. Now a performer, educator, and recording artist, he blends the discipline of a Kendo practitioner with the expressive depth of a lifelong musician. Through concerts, teaching, and social media, he shares music’s timeless stories—from Chopin’s complete works to the joy of inspiring the next generation."
It all starts from Bach
SAI Pan Pipes [Summer 2022]
"...masterfully interpreted and performed by Peter Tomasz."
Lowry Yankwich, Fanfare [Mar/April 2022]
"Peter Tomasz takes on one of Bach’s keyboard masterpieces in this new recording, and finds humor while plumbing the depths... Tomasz offers something closer to a young Glenn Gould than to András Schiff or Simone Dinnerstein, more playful and buoyant than introspective, though there are moments of deep feeling, too... Tomasz values the notes, but moves past them and keeps the line going. There’s a beautiful pace, a gentle drive to his music... Tomasz’s sense of pace is wonderful... [When] we return to the Aria, [we] feel changed. It is a spiritual journey, and Tomasz has been a careful shepherd."
Mark J. Estren, InfoDad [January 2022]
"Peter Tomasz, who handles the music with elegance and delicacy... , this is a consistent and consistently personal view of the Goldberg Variations, played with technical pianistic skill and an unashamed willingness to use the modern instrument’s capabilities to bring out the feelings...that Tomasz finds in the music."
Chopin: lifelong conversation
Jerome Lowenthal
“Exceptionally accomplished pianist-artist"
Peter Tomasz
"Chopin is like a family member. I've had conversation with him since day one. "
David Dubal
“Rare Chopinist. Listen to him - you'll be glad!”
"All of Chopin - piano legacy"
"From the folk melodies of rural Poland, thru revolutionary road to the salons of Paris—Chopin’s music has been Peter's compass. The ‘All of Chopin’ project is his deepest exploration yet: performing, recording, and unraveling every piece he wrote, one note at a time."

The Sword and the piano
Kendo – Fuel for the Artistic Spirit
In Jodan, the sword rises high—not just as a stance, but as a declaration. Like a performer taking the stage, this aggressive posture demands total commitment: every movement is amplified, every intention laid bare. The rhythm of strikes mirrors musical phrasing; the tension before an attack feels like a held breath before a crescendo.
For me, Kendo is more than combat—it’s kinetic artistry. The Jodan stance, with its unshakable spirit and dramatic presence, embodies the same raw expressiveness found in music or dance. Both demand discipline. Both thrive on timing. And both, when mastered, transcend technique to become something alive.
