Jan Lisiecki is a Canadian classical pianist renowned for his distinctive interpretations and prodigious technical prowess. Born on March 23, 1995, in Calgary, Alberta, Lisiecki started playing piano at the age of five and quickly emerged as a child prodigy. He gave his orchestral debut at nine and has since graced the stages of prestigious venues across the globe. A former student of the Glenn Gould School at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, Lisiecki gained international acclaim at a young age, earning accolades such as the 2013 Gramophone Young Artist of the Year.

Lisiecki's expansive discography reflects his affinity for both the subtleties of Chopin's compositions and the grandeur of Beethoven's concertos. His album “Chopin: Complete Nocturnes” showcases the elegance and emotional depth of his playing, while his keenly intellectual approach is epitomized in the “Beethoven: Complete Piano Concertos (Live at Konzerthaus Berlin / 2018)”. Beyond his solo recordings, Lisiecki collaborates with top orchestras and has worked under the baton of esteemed conductors. As a communicator of the classics, Jan Lisiecki beautifully bridges the gap between historical reverence and contemporary sensibility, revealing time and again the enduring relevance of classical music.
