He is a graduate of artistic violin making at the Royal Conservatory of Ghent (Belgium) and the I.J. Paderewski Academy of Music in Poznań (Poland). Despite his young age he is a member of the Polish Union of Artist Violin Makers and he already has some achievements in competitions.

Andrzej was born in 1987 in Poznań. Since 1994 he attended a primary school of music, where he learned to play the violin. From 2000 to 2006 he studied violin making under the supervision of Jan Mazurek, at the Mieczysław Karłowicz Secondary School of Music in Poznań. From 2003 to 2006 he was three times a recipient of a merit scholarship awarded by the Prime Minister of the Republic of Poland.

In 2006 he took part in the 11th International Henryk Wieniawski Violin-Making Competition in Poznań as the youngest participant in the history of this contest, which is the oldest existing violin making competition in the world. His violin was admitted to the second of three stages.

That year he graduated from the school with a medal for the best student. The violin from the competition and a miniature of a French lyre were his graduation work and were marked ‘A’. He was accepted, placed first, into the Academy of Music in Poznań and in the years 2006–2009 completed his Bachelor studies in the violin making class of Professor Andrzej Łapa, the pro-rector of the college at that time and jury member at many violin making contests.

In 2007 he won the first prize and the special prize of the board of the Polish Union of Artist Violin Makers for the 1/2 violin at the 1st National Violin Making Competition for Students in Poznań.

In 2008 his 4/4 violin took part in the 3rd International Věnceslav Metelka Violin Making Competition in Náchod (Czech Republic) and in the 3rd International Violino Arvenzis 2008 Violin Making Competition in Dolný Kubín (Slovakia). In both he won Simeone Morassi’s prize for the youngest contestant; in Dolný Kubín he was ranked at the 9th place, nearly making it to the final (to which eight instruments were admitted).

That year he was also inducted to the Polish Union of Artist Violin Makers.

For his performance during Bachelor's studies, which he completed in 2009 with a summa cum laude diploma, he twice held a scholarship by the Minister of Culture of the Republic of Poland.

In 2009 he served a three-month internship in Modena (Italy) at Lorenzo Frignani’s violin making atelier.

That year was rich in competition experiences, beginning with the prestigious 12th International Triennial Competition of Stringed Instrument Making Antonio Stradivari in Cremona (Italy), where Andrzej Perz presented his instruments. His viola won the second prize at the 4th National Włodzimierz Kamiński Violin Making Competition in Poznań. At the Eufonia 2009 competition, in turn, held in two European capitals – Sofia and Brussels – he won the first prize for his violin and the first prize for his viola.

The desire to broaden his horizons by exploring the theme of ancient instruments led him to pursue Master's studies at the Royal Conservatory of Ghent (Belgium), from which he graduated in 2012 with distinction and the De Blonde-Torck prize. His final exam was graced with the presence of Wieland Kuijken himself, as an external committee member.

The thesis project under the guidance of Geerten Verberkmoes and Jan Boon as the supervisor involved mainly the research on and the reconstruction of a bass viol by Peeter Borbon, a 17th century luthier at the royal court in Brussels. Hence the name of the undertaking: Project Borbon (website in Dutch).

During the studies Andrzej served in Brussels internships at the Musical Instruments Museum and in Jan Strick’s atelier, a violin making workshop of international repute.
