Description
The event will be rescheduled; we will announce the new date shortly!
The concert is dedicated to commemorating the May 3rd Constitution and the Year of the Mutual Pledge.
Piotr Anderszewski first captured the public’s attention in 1990 during the semifinals of the Leeds Piano Competition, when he walked off the stage without finishing his piece because he felt he was not playing well enough.
Known as a perfectionist, the pianist selects his composers and repertoire with meticulous care. As he once noted in an interview, “I cannot play just anything.”
Today, the artist is widely acclaimed and warmly welcomed in prestigious concert halls around the world. He performs regularly on the most renowned stages in Vienna, Berlin, New York, Paris, and Amsterdam. He plays with the London Symphony, the London Philharmonic, the Berlin Philharmonic, and other eminent orchestras.
The pianist has received the Gilmore Artist Award, the Szymanowski Award, and the Royal Philharmonic Society Award. Piotr Anderszewski has frequently collaborated with filmmaker Bruno Monsaingeon, the French director who has created documentaries about Glenn Gould, Sviatoslav Richter, David Oistrakh, and other notable musicians. Three films are dedicated to the personality of pianist Piotr Anderszewski. One of the most memorable moments captured on film is the pianist’s train journey from Warsaw to Budapest. During the trip, Piotr Anderszewski played a grand piano placed specifically for him inside his train compartment.
Speaking about the anxiety that arrives before a performance, the pianist has said: “I try to accept it and, during the concert, not pretend to be better than I am. Besides, adrenaline is necessary for my hands.”
The concert is supported by the Polish Institute in Vilnius.
