"...Renata is blessed with a uniquely beautiful voice.  Her singing has an amazingly pure quality which never fails to resonate in the hearts of people who hear her"

Polish born Renata Jonscher was originally classically trained in Cieszyn, then later in Strasbourg and London. At the age of twenty she began her professional career as a vocal soloist in Poland with the hugely popular Slask folk ensemble. She has since performed throughout Europe. 
Her performances feature a wide repertoire, ranging from classical and folk to traditional and religious songs. She was named Young Vocalist of the Year in the Province of Katowice in 1993, and in 1998 received the Silver Medal of the Republic of Poland for her contribution to musical culture. She has performed in numerous concerts, radio and television broadcasts and commercial recordings. In 2000 she presented her latest CD personally to Pope John Paul II. Then in 2001, as a Sony Classical Artist, she recorded an album to celebrate the life work of the distinguished Polish composer Stanislaw Hadyna.

2006 sees Renata, living in London, working on a new album of entirely original material. Her video-enhanced CD 'Entelechy' is the fruit of her collaboration with composer/producer Patrick Wilson and lyricist Tim Williams. Patrick Wilson has an established career as a writer for films, TV and commercial music but has now expanded his talents as a writer of 'modern oratorio'. He says: âOur vision is to create music which honours and hopefully, reflects some of the sublime spirit of the Classics but which is expressed in our own style."
 
They have teamed up with Coverdrive Productions' Chris Payne ('Celtic Legend' composer) and video producer Jai Michael to create the 'Islands of Sorrow' video (broadcast from Sept. 2006 on Classic FM TV) and have another one coming. Watch this space!
