Knapik studied at the Lipinski Academy of Music in Wroclaw, completing the five-year program in only three, and graduating summa cum laude. He is the first recipient of the Arthur and Halina Rudzinski Scholarship in Orchestral Studies, awarded by the Kosciuszko Foundation, and is currently pursuing post-graduate studies at the Manhattan School of Music. 26 years old, he has made numerous radio and television experiences and performed in the United States, Sweden, Switzerland, Luxemburg Germany, the Czech Republic, and throughout Poland.
