Wojciech Waleczek is a Polish concert pianist and Professor of Arts with an international career spanning more than twenty-five years. He has performed in twenty-seven European countries and across Asia, Africa, North America and South America, appearing as a solo recitalist, chamber musician and soloist with orchestra.
His artistic work focuses particularly on the nineteenth-century piano repertoire, with Franz Liszt and Franz Schubert occupying an important place in his concert and recording activity.

Alongside the classical repertoire, Waleczek creates thematic and crossover programmes designed for festivals, concert halls and new audiences.
