The career of Polish organist Roman Perucki is associated with the city of his birth, Gdansk. This is where he graduated from the music academy and immediately became a teacher there. Today, he is one of its professors and among the most recognised organists in Poland.

Perucki has played in numerous famous concert halls and churches around the world, including the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, the Gent Cathedral, and the Mariinsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg.
