 "I am happy that I can become known in so many fields. I have met magnificent artists and musicians everywhere. I think that watching the clash of various musical worlds and communing with many musical philosophies is one of the most interesting things that has ever happened to me.”

Piotr comes from a family of musicians.  He has been performing in public as a pianist since he was 13. With orchestra as a pianist he performed Concertos by Haydn, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Schostakovich, and also Ist Brahms Concerto among others with National Philharmonic in Warsaw,  or Concerto in F by Gershwin with Miami Symphony.

He studied at the Fryderyk Chopin Academy of Music in Warsaw in the piano class studying under professor Regina Smendzianka (1981-86) and later on in the conducting class studying under professor Stanisław Wisłocki (1983-88). He earned diplomas with distinction in both of these fields.

"I was given the opportunity to be taught by excellent teachers-performers and prominent figures in the music scene in Poland… it is a great piece of luck…"

He supplemented his education with numerous seminars in Europe and in the USA. Scholarships of the Ministry of Culture, Yehudi Menuhin Foundation in France and The Kosciuszko Foundation in New York enabled him to continue his development and, among other things, to work with the American pianist Ivan Davis. After a two-year stay at the University of Miami he earned a Master of Music diploma.

In 1996 he was offered the position of musical director for a musical show. This was the beginning of cooperation with German impresarios, as a result of which, in the following years he prepared another seven shows and later on also concert programs.

"I remember when, after the musical shows, I was leading performances of Rachmaninov’s music, and after concerts of Bartok's and Mozart’s music I was conducting marvelous songs from Disney movies .... Very interesting times...."

Piotr conducted many special events like: Concert for 10 pianos organized by F. Chopin Academy od Music or the huge open air concert for 170 performers and dozens of thousands of listeners.
