Bio
Clarinetist Wojtek Komsta has performed as a soloist and
chamber musician throughout Europe, North America, and
South America. His playing has been featured on European
television and radio, and he has been profiled in Listen 
magazine. 
As a soloist, he has performed with the Sinfonietta Cracovia,
Szczecin Symphony, Silesia Chamber Orchestra, and Tarnów
Chamber Orchestra in Poland. He gave the Polish premiere of
Penderecki’s Viola Concerto transcribed for clarinet by the
composer and has also performed his own transcription of
Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. Most recently, he performed Franz
Krommer’s Concerto for Two Clarinets with Javier Guzman at
the EAFIT orchestra in Medellin, Colombia. At the Penderecki
International Contemporary Music Competition in Krakow, he
won the title “Most Talented Musician” for two consecutive
years. At the Santa Cecilia Festival in Rome, Luciano Berio
awarded him a prize for the best performance of his Sequenza
IXa for clarinet solo. 
An avid chamber and orchestral musician, he has toured
throughout Europe, performing with the Silesia Quartet, the
Silesia Chamber Orchestra, the Dafo Quartet, and the
Sinfonietta Cracovia. For years he performed with the Seattle
Symphony Orchestra and the New York Chamber Orchestra. He
has recently performed with the International Contemporary
Ensemble. In 2019, he gave the world premiere of “Halny”, a
work for solo clarinet by Polish composer Jakub Polanczyk, at
Carnegie Hall. 
Komsta has presented recitals and masterclasses at numerous
music schools including the Juilliard School of Music, Manhattan
School of Music, Mannes School of Music, Indiana University,
Shenandoah Conservatory, Susquehanna University, Troy
University, James Madison University, Stony Brook University,
Virginia Commonwealth University, Virginia Tech, University of
Victoria (Canada), and Poznan Academy (Poland). 
After receiving his master’s degree at the Academy of Music in
Krakow, where he received the National Award for Highest
Academic Achievement, he studied chamber music at the
International Mozart Academy with musicians such as Yo Yo
Ma, Boris Pergamenschikow, and Martha Argerich. As clarinetist
of the Mozart Academy Reed Trio and principal clarinet of the
Mozart Academy Opera, he performed in the opera houses of
Florence, Rome, Budapest, Lyons, and Prague. On scholarship
from the Kosciuszko Foundation, he completed his Performance
Diploma at Indiana University. 
In New York City he studied clarinet performance and clarinet
design with Kalmen Opperman. He has since risen to
prominence as a clarinet technician and his work is sought by
many of the most prominent clarinetists in the United States.

Mai
Gwn ei ddyfod, fis y mêl, I know its coming, the month of
   honey,
Gyda'i firi yn yr helyg, With its merriment in the willow,
Gyda'i flodau fel y barrug - With its flowers like the hoar-frost
   -   
Gwyn fy myd bob tro y dêl. Blessed am I every time it comes.
   
Eis yn fore tua'r waen, I went in the morning towards the
   meadow   
Er mwyn gweld y gwlith ar In order to see the widespread
   wasgar,      dew,   
Ond yr oedd y gwersyll cynnar But the early camp had
Wedi codi o fy mlaen. Risen before me. 
Eistedd wnes tan brennau'r Glog, Sit I did under the woods of the
   Cliff   
Ar ddyfodiad y deheuwynt; At the coming of the south wind;
Eden glas ddisgynnodd arnynt Blue-green Eden descended upon
   them   
Gan barablu enw'r gog. With the uttering of the name of
   the cuckoo.    
Ni rois gam ar lawr y wig I took no step down the woodland
Heb fod clychau'r haf o tano, Without blue bells beneath it,
Fel diferion o ryw lasfro Like drippings of some blue vale
Wedi disgyn rhwng y brig. Having descended between the
   twigs.   
In uomini, in soldati
In uomini! In soldati sperare In men! In soldiers, you expect
   fedeltà?    fidelity?
In uomini sperare fedeltà? Ha! In men, you expect fidelity? Ha!
Non vi fate sentir per carità! For goodness’ sake, don’t let
   anyone hear you!
Di pasta simile son tutti quanti: Men are all cut from the same
   cloth.
Le fronde mobile, l’aure incostanti Blowing branches, changing
   breezes
Han più degli uomini stabilità. Are more stable than men.
Mentite lagrime, fallaci sguardi, Pretend crying, false glances,
Voci ingannevoli, vezzi bugiardi Deceptive voices, deceitful
   charms
Son le primarie lor qualità. Are their primary traits.
In noi non amano che il lor diletto, They only love us for their
   pleasure,
Poi ci dispregiano, neganci Then they disparage us and show
   affetto,    no affection.
Né val da barbari chieder pietà. You might as well ask a barbarian
   for pity.
Paghiam, o femmine, d’ugual Let’s give a taste of their own
   monetà    medicine
Questa malefica razza indiscreta; To this evil, indiscreet breed.
Amiam per comodo, per vanità. Let’s love at our convenience and
   for vanity.   
Der Blumenstrauss
Sie wandelt im Blumengarten She walks in the flower garden
Und mustert den bunten Flor, And admires the colorful boughs,
Und alle die Kleinen warten And all the little blooms wait
Und schauen zu ihr empor. And look at her up above.
“Und seid ihr den Frühlingsboten, “And are you then spring’s
   messengers,
Verkündend was stets so neu, Announcing what is always so
   new,
So werdet auch meine Boten So then be my messengers, too,
An ihn, der mich liebt so treu.” To he who loves me so true.”
So überschaut sie die Habe So she surveys her collection
Und ordnet den lieblichen Strauss And arranges a lovely bouquet,
Und reicht dem Freunde die Gabe And gives the gift to her lover,
Und weicht seinem Blicke aus. And turns her gaze away.
Was Blumen und Farben meinen, What the flowers and colors
   mean,
O deutet, o fragt das nicht, Do not ask or try to decipher,
Wenn aus den Augen der Einen When from his eyes
Der süsseste Frühling spricht. The sweetest springtime speaks.
Almen se non Poss'io
Almen se non poss'io At least, if I am not able
seguir l'amato bene, to follow my beloved,
affetti del cor mio, you affections of my heart,
seguitelo per me. go with him for me.
      
Già sempre a lui vicino Already near him always,
raccolti amor vi tiene Love keeps you gathered,
e insolito cammino and the path to him is not
questo per voi non è. an unfamiliar one for you.
Là ci darem la mano
DON GIOVANNI DON GIOVANNI
Là ci darem la mano, There you will give me your hand,
là mi dirai di sì. there you will tell me "yes".
Vedi, non è lontano; You see, it is not far;
partiam, ben mio, da qui. Let us leave, my beloved.
ZERLINA ZERLINA
Vorrei e non vorrei; I'd like to, but yet I would not.
mi trema un poco il cor. My heart trembles a little.
Felice, è ver sarei, It's true I would be happy,
ma può burlarmi ancor. but he may just be tricking me.
DON GIOVANNI DON GIOVANNI
Vieni, mio bel diletto! Come, my dearly beloved!
ZERLINA ZERLINA
Mi fa pietà Masetto! I'm sorry for Masetto.
DON GIOVANNI DON GIOVANNI
Io cangierò tua sorte! I will change your life!
ZERLINA ZERLINA
Presto, non son più forte! Soon I won't be able to resist.
DON GIOVANNI DON GIOVANNI
Vieni! Vieni! Come! Come!
Andiam! Andiam! Let us go!
ZERLINA ZERLINA
Andiam! Let us go!
DON GIOVANNI, ZERLINA DON GIOVANNI, ZERLINA
Andiam, andiam, mio bene, Let us go, let us go, my beloved,
a ristorar le pene to soothe the pangs
d'un innocente amor! of an innocent love!
