Karol Mossakowski has been named 2014-2015 Young Artist in Residence at Cathedral-Basilica of St. Louis King of France in New Orleans. A student since 2011 of Olivier Latry and Michel Bouvard at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris, he began his musical studies with his father. He later entered the Poznań Music Academy where he studied organ with Elżbieta Karolak and Jarosław Tarnawski.
Mossakowski has received scholarships from the French government and the De Tarrazi and Meyer’s foundations, and a grant from the Brieux-Urstaritz Foundation. In Poland, he won several competitions including the 2010 Feliks Nowowoiejski International Competition and first prize at the Springtime International Competition in Prague in 2013.
As Young Artist in Residence, in addition to liturgical responsibilities, he will perform recitals in the southeast Louisiana region. The Young Artist in Residence program was established in 2009 in collaboration with the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique and is made possible through the generosity of the Elise Murray Cambon Memorial Trust.
