He met his wife, who is 8 years older than him, through music. “Maybe that solidified the bond.” They have been together for over 36 years.

Grzegorz Turnau studied piano for 7 years at a music school in Kraków. In 1980, he left for England, where his father taught high school mathematics. After a year spent studying abroad, he returned to Poland, finished high school and began studies at the Jagiellonian University. In 1984, while still a high school student, he won his first music award. Right after that, he began performing at Piwnica pod Baranami in Kraków. His debut album was not released until 1991. By then, Turnau was already a father and a happy husband.

They have been together for over 36 years. Who is Grzegorz Turnau’s wife?

Maryna Barfuss and Grzegorz Turnau met in the 80s. He was just taking his first steps on stage, she, eight years older than him, was already a recognized flautist who performed in Piwnica pod Baranami. From their professional cooperation, a feeling and love were born, which has lasted to this day. They got married, and in 1988 Antonina was born. They performed together on stage and in the band for a long time. Maryna helped Turnau create his debut album, but it did not end with a one-time collaboration.

Grzegorz Turnau and Maryna Barfuss performed together on stage for years. “She chose another occupation”

Neither Grzegorz Turnau nor him appear in the media to talk about their private lives. It is in vain to look for interviews with Maryna, and the musician himself prefers to talk about his professional life, not his personal life. On his Instagram, we will not find their joint photos either. However, he rarely lifts the veil of secrecy. In 2014, in an interview with he revealed that they are no longer meeting professionally.

– Maryna hasn’t played with me in the band for quite a long time, although I try to have her play the flute on each album (as well as on “7 Widoki”). She chose another, passionate occupation. In the 90s, we worked together intensively as musicians. Perhaps it was this life together on the road that strengthened the bond of marriage, for which, as we know, rock’n’roll life is usually not very kind – he confessed. Today, apart from performing on stage, 57-year-old Grzegorz Turnau… runs a vineyard. He shares his passion for wine with his son-in-law, Marek Kondrat, but he runs the Turnau Vineyard in Baniewice near Szczecin not with him, but with his cousin, his son and Tomasz Kasicki. What does his wife do? Since 2004, she has been the co-owner of a café in Kraków.
