In spite of this youth, Polish-Canadian pianist Jan Lisiecki has already been afforded comparisons to Maurizio Pollini, Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, Krystian Zimermaneven - even called the Mozart of our times. And still he retains a sweet modesty throughout all of his success, conscious of the difficult passage from boy genius to a professional whose career follows a dynamic, all the while steady, path.
Jan Miłosz Lisiecki was born and raised in Canada by Polish parents. He learned Polish as a child and has maintained ties with Poland, often visiting his grandparents and performing at major festivals, including the prominent Chopin and his Europe Festival each summer since the age of 12.
