Internationally acclaimed Polish pianist Krystian Zimerman is widely recognised as one of the world’s most prominent pianists today. He won the First Prize of the International Chopin Piano Competition in 1975 at the age of 18, making him the youngest winner of the competition ever, and quickly took the world of classical music by storm. For more than four decades, he has performed with numerous leading orchestras and musicians in major concert halls. Zimerman’s concerts are always sold out, including his recitals in Shanghai and Guangzhou in early 2024.
