Tymoteusz Bies

Born in 1995, he is a Pol­ish pianist, cham­ber musi­cian, music pro­duc­er, and com­pos­er. Rec­og­nized as one of the most orig­i­nal and ver­sa­tile musi­cians of his generation.

He is the win­ner of over thir­ty awards in nation­al and inter­na­tion­al piano and cham­ber music com­pe­ti­tions. He has per­formed with solo piano recitals and sym­phon­ic con­certs in dozens of coun­tries across three con­ti­nents. From 2020 to 2022, he was a res­i­dent artist at the Nation­al Sym­pho­ny Orches­tra of the Pol­ish Radio.

A grad­u­ate of the Karol Szy­manows­ki Acad­e­my of Music in Katow­ice (Primus Inter Pares, 2019). He val­ues the insights gained from aca­d­e­m­ic edu­ca­tion as much as raw intu­ition and artis­tic nat­u­ral­ness, which allows him to move freely through var­i­ous music gen­res and artis­tic expressions.

He has made a num­ber of record­ings, both solo and with sym­phon­ic and cham­ber ensem­bles. Three of his albums have been nom­i­nat­ed for the Fry­deryk Award (Irrberge | DUX 2022, Pol­ish Piano Quin­tets | CD Accord, 2024, J.S. Bach: Gold­berg Vari­a­tions | Tymo­teusz Bies | DUX, 2024).

As a music pro­duc­er, he has co-cre­at­ed dozens of hip-hop, pop, under­ground, and exper­i­men­tal tracks. He has com­posed music for sev­er­al fea­ture films. Along with his broth­er Jacek, he forms the com­pos­er-pro­duc­er duo BIESY. He is also the arranger and artis­tic direc­tor of the Pak­to­foni­ka: Ret­ro­spec­tives project.

In 2021, he par­tic­i­pat­ed in the pro­duc­tion of the film Bread and Salt (dir. Dami­an Kocur, Poland, 2022), play­ing the lead role and per­form­ing the piano pieces used in the film. The film won the Spe­cial Jury Award at the Venice Inter­na­tion­al Film Fes­ti­val and received sev­er­al acco­lades at inter­na­tion­al film fes­ti­vals. His act­ing debut was award­ed the JANTAR stat­uette for Best Male Dis­cov­ery at the Young and Film Fes­ti­val in Kosza­lin (2023).
