Aleksander Dębicz is an insatiable improviser – and it’s hard to get enough of his inventive piano playing. All those who, after his concert at the NFM, don't want to go home yet, are invited to an afterparty in the foyer. In the second part of the evening, the artist will present his own compositions, as well as spontaneous work inspired by the pieces by classical music geniuses.

The graduate of the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music calls his own musical language “cinematic classical.” He has developed it on seven original albums released by Warner Classics. He has five Fryderyk Award nominations to his credit – including for the albums Invention and #LetsBaRock. The latter album is the result of a collaboration between the pianist and countertenor Jakub Józef Orliński. The two artists combine Baroque music with contemporary sounds. They have performed together, for example, at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam and the Berlin Philharmonic. Dębicz has composed for a variety of line-ups, from piano pieces to orchestral works. He has composed for the Polish Theatre and the Jewish Theatre in Warsaw, the Juliusz Słowacki Theatre in Krakow, and the Teatr Telewizji, among others. His music for the radio play Anna Karenina, produced by Polish Radio, won him an award at the Dwa Teatry festival. He has performed with esteemed orchestras such as Sinfonia Varsovia and Sinfonietta Cracovia. He is a renowned arranger. He doesn’t shy away from entertainment – he is well-known, for example, to the audiences of Męskie Granie series.

The joyful commemoration of Valentine Day is an occasion to celebrate the occasion and attend a concert. Not only for lovers. A Saturday evening filled with the original music by Aleksander Dębicz – a pianist, composer, and improviser who performs worldwide – will be equally enjoyable whether enjoyed with friends, family, or even as a date with just yourself.
