Szczecin-based pianist Zuzanna Sejbuk will perform at the Lentz Villa on 10th February 2024 at 7 p.m. Her concert (in the cycle JUVENUM HORTUS – The Garden of Youth) is an award from our institution for winning the GRAND PRIX of the 7th West Pomeranian Piano Competition, a nationwide contest organised in 2023 by Warsaw’s Centre for Arts Education (CEA) and the Feliks Nowowiejski State Music School Complex in Szczecin.
Sejbuk began her piano education with Hanna Urbańska in Szczecin at age five. She is now a student at the Fryderyk Chopin State Comprehensive Secondary Music School in Cracow (in the piano class of Prof. Olga Łazarska). She has also attended numerous masterclasses taught by such piano stars as Pavel Gililov, Andrzej Jasiński, Eldar Nebolsin, Hubert Rutkowski, and Dang Thai Son.
Winner of international music competitions on Estonia, Latvia, Switzerland, Sweden, and other countries, Sejbuk has recently won 1st prizes in the 20th International Juliusz Zarębski Music Competition, the 6th Turzno International Chopin Piano Competition, the 21st Nationwide Piano Competition in Konin, as well as the 3rd prize in the ‘Jeune Chopin’ International Piano Competition for Children and Youth in Lugano, Italy.
Audiences have so far been able to admire her talent during concerts held, among others, at the Birthplace of Fryderyk Chopin in Żelazowa Wola, the Krzysztof Penderecki European Centre for Music in Lusławice, the Karol Szymanowski Museum at Villa Atma in Zakopane, the Royal Łazienki Park and the Royal Castle in Warsaw.
The young pianist’s artistic development has been supported by the Polish Children’s Fund, Pro Musica Bona Foundation, as well as scholarships from the President of the City of Szczecin, and the Minister of Culture and National Heritage. In 2022 she took part in the Morningside Music Bridge international scholarship programme for gifted artists aged 12 – 18 in Boston, USA.
We are extremely pleased to be able to support and present this young pianist from Szczecin in our Juvenum Hortus concert cycle. Please join us for this event.
