Our guest artist!

2010-02-27T18:01:00.003-06:00

Jan Lisiecki - a guest artist beyond our wildest dreams!
It was an incredibly exciting morning in January when we found out that our biggest dream had come true!

Jan Lisiecki will have performed on four continents by years end; he had his Carnegie Hall debut at 13; he won Nationals and CMC that same year; he opened the international year of Chopin. His playing has been called remarkably poetic , and imaginative...and he's only 14!
This blog can't possibly hold Jan's complete bio (its just too big!) so please:
