The pianist was born in 1995 in the city of Lublin. He was 7 when he began studying music. Since 2008, he has been a pupil of Irina Rumyantseva at a Warsaw music college named after Karol Szymanowski. He graduated with honors from the college in 2014.

In “Zaryadye”, the first part of the concert is dedicated to pieces by Polish classical composers; Karol Kurpiński is one of the founders of Polish opera, while Jan Voříšek was an outstanding pianist-improviser, and it was him who coined the word “impromptu”, the term later borrowed by Chopin and Schubert.

The second part of the concert will be dedicated to some popular oeuvres by Chopin.
