Marek i Wacek (Marek and Wacek) was a musical duo of Polish pianists Marek Tomaszewski and Wacław "Wacek" Kisielewski, that performed from 1963 until Wacek's death on 12 July 1986.[1][2] Formed in early 1960s, the duo debuted in a TV program on March 8, 1963.[3]
The duo transformed classical compositions into modern sound and vice versa, converted modern music into classical style. Their approact to music was influenced by Vacek's father, Stefan Kisielewski, writer, publicist, and composer.[4][5]
Marek and Wacek played the principal roles (themselves) in the 1966 musical short film Tandem.[6]
