Joining us in the Shaw Library this week is the exceptional pianist Andrzej Wierciński.

Andrzej Wierciński graduated with distinction from Wojciech Świtała’s class at the Karol Szymanowski Academy of Music in Katowice, and from the Mozarteum University in Salzburg, where he was taught by Pavel Gililov. He is also a graduate of the Royal College of Music in London, where he studied with Norma Fisher.

A winner of numerous international piano competitions, including those held in Saint-Priest, Vienna (2019) and Naples (2018), he also made the third round of the 18th International Fryderyk Chopin Piano Competition (2021). In recent years, he has given recitals across Europe, as well as in Canada, Dubai, Indonesia and Japan.
