Ewa Demarczyk was born in Krakow, on 16 January 1941. She is educated actress (studies at PWST in Krakow), and pianist (she studied also piano at Music Academy). Her debut took place in 1961 in "Cyrulik" cabaret, but in 1962 she started her co-operation with "Piwnica pod Baranami", where she found a core group of composers setting poetry to music (Zygmunt Konieczny, Andrzej Zarycki, Stanisław Radwan). A year later she took part in Polish song festival in Opole, where she excited the audience by the performance of first compositions of Zygmunt Konieczny ("The Marry-go-round with Madonnas" - poem by M. Białoszewski, "Black Angels" - poem by W. Dymny and "Such a Landscape" - poem by A. Szmidt). In 1966 she began to work also with Andrzej Zarycki and in the same year the form of her performances spread from a part of cabaret appearance or a short song recital to the independent music spectacle with the backing group of two pianos, two violins, cello, bass, guitar and percussion. She took part in many international music and theatre festivals, some of her performances were recorded by TV- and radio stations. She gave concerts in Olympia (Paris), in Salle Pleyel and Cornegie Hall (USA), in Canada, Cuba, Brazil, and many other countries. Getting numerous awards, she was nominated to half more. She is a performer with theatrical power and a voice that ranges from an intimate whisper to a fortissimo roar of passionate intensity. No matter if the audience doesn't understand her songs in Polish - the performance is always gripping - stunning and subtle, portraying pain and rage as well as love, tenderness and pray. Nevertheless she sings also in German, French, Spanish, Russian and English.
