Piotr Paleczny

Making his debut on the US Chopin Competition jury, Piotr Paleczny was the Polish connection for the Competition in 2010. Competition organizers realized the importance of including jury members who also serve on the Jury of the International Chopin Competition in Warsaw. Winner of the 3rd prize at the 1970 Warsaw Competition, Paleczny has, since 1993, been artistic director of the Chopin Festival in Duszniki-Zdrój, and since 2004 head of the Paderewski International Piano Competition in Bydgoszcz. The Miami audience was very lucky to hear Maestro Paleczny perform for this special event.
