Originally from Poland but now based in Ireland, Natalia has become one of the most versatile saxophone artists the island has seen. Her career has taken her to concert halls and clubs, playing across the genres with insight, technique, and flair, thanks to her classically trained background.
Having taken up the saxophone as a child, Natalia went on to study with Andrzej Zwarycz in Jelenia Góra, and later graduated with an M.A in her instrument from the prestigious Karol Szymanowski Academy in Katowice. She earned her second M.A from the Royal Academy of Music in Aarhus, Denmark, and was awarded First Prize among the recital finalists.
In the years that followed, Natalia moved to Dublin where she quickly embraced new challenges, new music, new friends and a solo profile that blossomed with the success of the Celtic economy. As a resident artist in various Dublin venues, she has gained her reputation as being a dazzling club music improviser and a charismatic performer, sought near and far, having performed across Ireland, the UK, Switzerland, and Ibiza.
These days, Natalia balances her work and home life, raising her young family with her Irish husband/manager and representing the Irish State in her official capacity as a member of the Irish Defence Forces School of Music. She also lectures at the Royal Irish Academy of Music, and maintains her freelance career with various orchestras, bands, clubs, festivals, corporate and private events, and the world famous show Riverdance.
When it comes to weddings, Natalia offers performances for 4 different stages of your day. For the ceremony, depending on the type, Natalia can perform classical music with her accompanist or contemporary music with her backing tracks.For your drinks reception, Natalia will serenade your nearest and dearest with her sax and tracks set lasting 1 and a half hours, building tempo as the afternoon progresses, kick starting the fun. She may even play you into your dining room! Why not surprise your guests after sitting for their meal and get them up and moving (and grooving!) with a 40 minute surprise performance. She usually starts after dessert is served, but this is flexible.
Natalia’s most popular choice is her late night performance with DJ, lasting approximately 2 hours, starting after your band and finishing around 2am. She can recommend DJ’s that she often plays with or is equally happy to play with any you have booked yourself.
