In his youth Marcin earned acclaim as a soloist in the 2000 National Piano Competition for High School Pianists in Kraków (Poland), 1996 2nd prize winner in the International Piano Competition in Koszyce (Slovakia), and in 1994 2nd prize winner of The Polish National Piano Competition “Janina Garścia” in Stalowa Wola. Beginning with Frederic Francois Chopin (1810 – 1849) Etude in C minor, Op. 10, No. 12 “Revolutionary,” then Nocturne B Major, Op. 9, No. 3 followed by a brief intermission and finishing the afternoon with Chopin’s 24 Preludes, Op. 28 – this piano recital will not disappoint.
