Andrzej Wierciński

Andrzej Wierciński was born in Poland in 1995. In 2019 he was awarded a Masters degree with distinction in the Karol Szymanowski Academy of Music in Katowice, where he studied with Prof. Wojciech Świtała. Andrzej was also developing his musical skills under the guidance of Professor Pavel Gililov in Mozarteum University.

As a semi-finalist in the 18th International Fryderyk Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw, Andrzej has made a name for himself as a mature artist with an excellent technique that allows him to create sound very freely.

Over the last decade Andrzej has earned an impressive string of awards at prestigious Polish and international piano competitions - most notably winning 1st Prizes at: the International Frédéric Chopin Competition in Budapest (2014), the International Piano Competition in Saint-Priest in France (2019) and the 46th Polish F. Chopin Competition in Warsaw. Those awards have included many concert engagements abroad, golden medals and cooperation with recording labels in Europe and the Far East. For example, during the visit to Japan in 2015 of the President of Poland Bronisław Komorowski, Andrzej played a Chopin recital in Tokyo in the presence of Princess Masako Owada. Andrzej Wierciński holds Artistic Scholarships from Krystian Zimerman.
