The EUCO gave its first concerts in 1981 and has since gained a world-wide reputation as a musical ambassador for the European Union. Regular tours take it worldwide and performances have included those in the presence of Queen Noor of Jordan, the King and Queen of Belgium, its own Patron Queen Sofia of Spain, King Sihanouk of Cambodia, in the Royal Palace at Phnom Penh and Princess Galyani in Bangkok. An annual schedule of some 60 concerts takes it to prestigious halls throughout the EU and to international festivals.

Mateusz BorowiakMateusz Borowiak was born in 1988, began playing the piano at the age of four, and has rapidly become one of the finest pianists of his generation. He studied piano and composition at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama. From 2006 he has been reading music at Cambridge University. Since 2005 he has been studying with Andrzej Jasinski – Krystian Zimmermann’s one and only teacher. Mateusz has been performing to great acclaim from an early age, appearing at venues such as Barbican Hall, Birmingham Hall, Purcell Room, Cadogan Hall, St. James’s Piccadilly, Snape Maltings, at King’s Lynn and Lower Machen Festivals, and abroad – in Austria, Czech Republic and Poland. Mateusz’s exceptional talent has attracted an array of glittering awards including the keyboard prize at the Royal Overseas League Music Competition, in 2006 and most recently the London Girton Association Award for outstanding musicianship.
