Aleksandra Panasik is an oboist specializing in contemporary classical and improvised music. She graduated from the Stanisław Moniuszko Academy of Music in Gdańsk, where she studied under Professor Józef Raatz. In 2021, she earned a doctoral degree in musical arts. She also studied at the Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Stuttgart and the Hochschule für Künste Bremen in the class of Professor Christian Hommel, oboist of the renowned Ensemble Modern. In 2019, she was a participant in the prestigious International Ensemble Modern Academy.

She took part in the Darmstadt Summer Course for New Music (as a scholarship holder), as well as numerous masterclasses led by distinguished teachers and virtuosos, including Washington Barella, Jérôme Guichard, Diethelm Jonas, Fabien Thouand, David Walter, Henry Ward, and Gregor Witt.

Panasik’s work is defined by her deep commitment to the interpretation of new music, with a particular focus on works that explore the intersections of acoustic sound and electronic media. She has collaborated with a wide range of internationally recognized composers, including Katarzyna Arnhold, Sungji Hong, Ana Lara, Maria Lord-Kniveton, Iris Szeghy, Piotr Grella-Możejko, Aleksandra Bilińska, Katarzyna Taborowska, Mateusz Ryczek, Michał Janocha, Stefano Pierini, Gwyn Pritchard, Jack Vees, Georgina Derbez, Jorge Torres Saenz, Alberto Caprioli, Charles Stolte, and Christopher Dell.

In 2023, she released her solo album OBOElectronics, featuring premiere recordings of works for oboe and electronics composed specifically for her between 2021 and 2023. In 2024, she embarked on a concert tour across North America to promote the album, during which she also gave lectures and masterclasses at Canadian universities, including the University of Alberta, University of Lethbridge, and King’s College. These sessions were directed toward both performers and composers.

She has participated in a variety of recording projects in the fields of contemporary and improvised music, including the album 2 Comp (Schott Music, 2025), recorded in collaboration with Anthony Braxton and his Creative Orchestra during workshops in Darmstadt. She was also part of the ensemble for The Arbeitende Konzert Revisions XI and XII by Christopher Dell, a project involving live performances and recordings at The Loft in Cologne. Other ensemble members included Elisabeth Coudoux, Anna Neubert, Marlies Debacker, Eveline Degen, and Stefan Karl Schmid.

Her artistic proposal was selected for the 50th edition of the International Computer Music Conference in Boston, chosen from among 700 submissions worldwide. In the 2025/2026 season, she was also invited to perform in the prestigious live@CIRMMT concert series at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and Technology (CIRMMT) in Montreal, Canada.

In 2019, together with pianist Magdalena Ochlik-Jankowska, she recorded an album featuring works for oboe by Eugène Bozza. The recording includes premiere performances of selected compositions from the Graphismes and Quatorze études sur des modes karnatiques pour hautbois etude sets.
