A true virtuoso of the violin, Mariusz Patyra's artistic career took off after winning the 2001 Niccolo Paganini International Violin Competition. His success was exceptional in that he was the first ever Polish violinist to win the "Premio Niccolo Paganini". Patyra was also awarded a special prize for best interpretation of the Paganini Caprices and received a copy of the great master's violin, "Il Cannone"; he had the honor of performing on Niccolo Paganini's original Guarneri del Gesu during a later concert.
His achievement launched performance tours all over the world, including Europe, Japan, the United States, and Mexico. Mariusz Patyra has played with such distinguished orchestras as: the Tokyo Royal Chamber Orchestra, Orchestra Fondazione Arturo Toscanini, Orchestra di Roma, Orchestra Filarmonica Marchigiana, the Polish Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Polish Radio Chamber Orchestra ("Amadeus"), the Warsaw National Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra, and Sinfonia Varsovia.
Recordings for the Polish, the Northern German (NDR), the Western German (WDR), and the Italian radio (RAI TRE) give an insight in the virtuoso playing of this artist.
