Stonyhurst organist wins a Cambridge scholarship

A sixth form student at Stonyhurst College, Lancashire has gained an organ scholarship to Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge.  Pawel Rzemieniecki, from Poland, will read Mathematics as well as carry out his duties as organ scholar, conducting the college choir and accompanying services.

Pawel started playing the organ when he was 10 years old and has achieved a 'distinction' for the Associated Board's grade 8 piano examination.  He also has A* passes in Mathematics and Further Mathematics

'I'm delighted to have been awarded this scholarship, as it means I can combine the two things I enjoy most, music and maths,' said Pawel. 'Playing the organ at Stonyhurst has been really inspiring as it's a very fine instrument in a beautiful church.' His organ tutor, Dr Kevin Morgan, the College organist, said: 'Pawel is a pleasure to work with and we are all extremely proud of his major achievement.'
