Michał Markoszewski teaches organ and improvisation at the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music in Warsaw and, with Ewa Czachorowska-Zygor, was host-guide for the PIPEDREAMS Tour in Poland in 2015. This YouTube feature illustrates the unusual ‘mobile angels’ that decorate the organ in the ornate pilgramage church at Święta Lipka.
