Łucja Chyrzyńska

Łucja Chyrzyńska (b. 1998) is a Polish flutist, Young Artist of Wm. S. Haynes Co. Flute Company and member of Hashtag Ensemble, a leading Polish music cooperative specializing in contemporary music performance, improvisation and art education.

She graduated with distinction from the Krzysztof Penderecki Academy of Music in Kraków, where she studied flute with Professor Wiesław Suruło. Chyrzyńska’s artistic practice focuses on expanding the sonic and expressive possibilities of the flute through contemporary music, experimental practices, and improvisation. She explores the instrument’s timbral, technical and performative potential, with particular interest in interdisciplinary approaches, emerging technologies, and new forms of interaction between performers, composers and audiences.

Chyrzyńska has presented numerous premieres and performed at festivals across Europe and Asia, including Warsaw Autumn, Darmstädter Ferienkurse, Ephemera, Unsound, Ad Libitum, Szalone Dni Muzyki, AżTak, AudioArt and the Krakow International Festival of Composers.

A laureate of numerous national and international competitions, Chyrzyńska received the Młoda Polska Scholarship from Poland’s Minister of Culture and National Heritage and was also awarded the Rector’s Scholarship for Outstanding Students at the Krzysztof Penderecki Academy of Music three times (2018, 2021, 2022).

Her international artistic development has been shaped by Erasmus+ exchanges at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki (2019) and the Jāzeps Vītols Latvian Academy of Music in Riga (2022–2023). In 2025, she was selected for the International Summer Courses for New Music in Darmstadt, where she studied with Claire Chase.

Alongside her performance career, she is active in music education and mentoring. She is committed to fostering a dialogue between Polish and international artistic communities, promoting Polish contemporary music abroad as well as introducing international repertoire and experimental practices to audiences in Poland. She has also delivered guest lectures on extended flute techniques at her alma mater.
