On December the 4th our school had the privilege to host the young musician Jan Lisiecki (www.janlisiecki.com). Janek introduced himself not only as world class musician, but also as a young man – a peer to our students. For almost an hour he talked about his unique life, learning and a hard work of every day practice. Of course he played on the piano. How? No words can describe it or gestured can express it. You had to hear it yourself. Not even a cold or an old school piano prevented him to excel.
What kind of an impression he left? By his straightforward conduct, modesty and artistic performance he proved that everything is possible as long as you believe in yourself and persistence in hard work. Perhaps it is worthy to mention that even though Janek was born in Canada, he spoke to us in Polish without a slightest accent. He is proud of his heritage of both cultures.
