In addition to composing her own music and writing texts filled with deeply humanistic premise, she also directs her own performances.

Szwajgier, demiurge of intellectual and situational, ironic and sardonic, bitter and unpretentious humor, forms a special suspense between performers and the audience.

Olga Szwajgier is an extraordinary person not only when being on a stage but also when she pleads natural environment, stigmatizing destructive power of the human race. ... appears in movie... ... or when she gives a great ball for artistic circle.

“Olga Szwajgier with her extreme vocal technique (from a birds’ twitter to incredible vocal effects), extraordinary high vocal diapason, her performance invention, theatrical abilities and specific humor is an excellent, uncomparable performer of the new music.”

Mieczysława Hanuszewska    Poland  -  Życie Literackie

Olga Szwajgier has surprised the listeners by the unbelievable register of her tones and murmurs, which she has mastered perfectly. /.../ The audience was astonished with quite unknown, unusual sounds”.

M.E. Brockhoff     M.Z. Münster

 
“Olga Szwajgier is an artist from top to toe. /.../ She connects wonderful talent with confidence and brilliant technique. The stage seems to be her natural living space. What voltage! She is able to go so high that it seems impossible.  She can do it!  It is phenomenal”XI Musik - Biennale - Berlin 1987    Germany
