We have a great pleasure to invite you to the concert by

Piano Virtuoso, Aleksander Dębicz


SUNDAY, June 9th at 5:00 PM

The Kosciuszko Foundation DC

2025 O Street, N.W., Washington DC 20036




The recitals will feature the artist’s compositions and improvisations on works by Frederic Chopin.



ALEKSANDER DĘBICZ is one of Poland’s most versatile pianists and composers. His two main points of departure are improvisation and his original music, which he frequently combines with the works of old classical masters. His love for film music, reflected for years in his output, marks a key direction in his current activity as a composer.


His 2015 debut album, Cinematic Piano, featured a cycle of 12 original pieces inspired by films. Since then, Dębicz has composed music for films, radio dramas, and theatrical spectacles, establishing collaborations with, among others, Warsaw’s Polish and Jewish Theatres as well as Cracow’s Słowacki Theatre. His music for the Polish Radio drama Anna Karenina (dir. Katarzyna Michałkiewicz) was awarded at the Two Theatres Festival in 2019.


The artist’s numerous accolades include the 1st prizes in the Transatlantyk Instant Composition Contest (the world’s only competition for simultaneous improvised composition of film music) and Spitfire Audio’s 2022 Bridgerton Scoring Competition, in which his composition to a fragment of the Netflix series Bridgerton was selected as the best of four thousand submitted entries by a jury consisting of Kris Bowers (author of the original Bridgerton soundtrack) and the Spitfire Audio team. Since 2024, Dębicz has been under an exclusive recording contract with the international label Warner Classics & Erato.
