FLIS is a podcast about music and listening created by Filip Lech, Culture.pl's music editor, and Iza Smelczyńska, music scholar and improviser. In the series devoted to the Chopin Competition, the duo will discuss it from unusual perspectives. Dr Aneta Bartnicka-Michalska is the guest of the first episode. The philosopher and psychologist will tell us more about the minds of young musicians. How can they develop a sense of agency? What's the origin of stage fright? Can a win in the Chopin Competition turn into a burden?
Dr. Aneta Bartnicka-Michalska works at the Chopin University of Music in Warsaw and . She is a member of the American Psychological Association, the Polish Psychological Association, and the Polish Association of Human Development Psychology.
In the next episodes of the series, we'll be discussing social and class divisions in the Philharmonic world, sense of humour, the Romantic notion of genius, and AI.
