Ritter has toured in many European countries, Russia and Japan. He performed under the baton of conductors such as Łukasz Borowicz, Ian Hobson, Jerzy Maksymiuk, Jan Stanienda and Jakub Chrenowicz. Among others, he has worked with Kvarteto Martinů, Stradivari Quartett, singer Elena Zolotova and flautist Benedek Csalog. In 2014, an album of Ritter's performances was released by Polskie Nagrania. It features music by Bach, Beethoven, Szymanowski, and Ginastera.
What do the critics think of Ritter’s performances? In 2012, Maciej Pinkwart wrote the following for Ruch Muzyczny magazine: ‘In the second part, the 17-year-old pianist Tomasz Ritter took the stage, a student of the Karol Szymanowski Complex of State Music Schools in Warsaw. If this is the level he represents as a student, what will we able to hear from him in the future?’. One year later, Witold Paprocki added the following in another article for the magazine: ‘Ritter’s performance draws attention to the deliberate, consistent concept of interpretation and the ability to use the display of virtuosity to highlight the music’s expressive qualities’.
