Artur Tuznik is a pianist and composer based in Denmark since 2008. His fascination with both sprawling genres is evident in his virtuosic playing, but also in his compositions, which proudly merge his affinity for composers of the impressionism era including Ravel and Szymanowski with the folksy power and mystery of Charles Mingus.
