Piotr Sałajczyk

Pianist Piotr Sałajczyk is a champion of contemporary music and has also revived forgotten Polish music of earlier eras. He is a noted educator as well. Sałajczyk has been especially active as a chamber music player, and he made his recording debut in that capacity with the Silesian String Quartet on a 2015 recording of chamber works by composer Krzysztof Meyer. As a soloist, he has performed frequently in Poland with such groups as the Silesian Philharmonic, the Sinfonietta Cracovia, and the AUKSO Chamber Orchestra. Sałajczyk has issued a solo album featuring works by Beethoven and Schubert and a 2018 album reviving the complete piano works of Juliusz Zarębski. He joined the Silesian String Quartet on a recording of works by Joachim Mendelson and Grazyna Bacewicz.
