Tomasz Lis
One of the outstanding pianists of the young generation, Tomasz Lis is in great demand as a soloist and chamber musician. Tomasz studied with Krystyna Filipowska in Poland, Martin Roscoe at the Royal Academy of Music, London, as well as with Ronan O‘Hora and Graham Johnson at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, where he received his Master of Arts degree. Tomasz has performed in major concert halls in the UK and abroad, including Wigmore Hall, Barbican Hall and The Chopin Society. He appeared with great success at the Cheltenham Music Festival, Mostly Mozart Festival, Chelsea Schubert Festival, and London Festival of American Music. He has been a regular guest on BBC Radio 3 In Tune and received rave reviews for his performances in Poland, most notably with the Polish Radio Chamber Orchestra Amadeus conducted by Agnieszka Duczmal. In 2012 Tomasz Lis served on the faculty of SongFest in Los Angeles, working with and performing the works of William Bolcom and John Musto. He has been a great advocate for championing contemporary music by composers such as John Harbison, André Previn, Peter Lieberson, John Musto, and Maciej Zielinski. In 2006 Lis devised a recital series for St Giles Cripplegate Church (Cripplegate Song Festival 2006), situated in the heart of the City of London in order to showcase the most talented young singers of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
