Polish pianist, Aleksandra Mysłek, who will be joining the concert, is a staff pianist at the Trinity Laban Conservatoire and Guildhall School as well as being a frequent guest at the Royal Academy of Music. She has a great record of being a talented musician, as her early education was marked by a particular affinity to music by Fryderyk Chopin and at the age of nine, she received a special prize from the National Fryderyk Chopin Society for her performance of one of the early Nocturnes. Apart from pursuing her research interests, (the music of Karol Szymanowski) Aleksandra became involved in more extracurricular activities such as répétiteur work, orchestral conducting studies and organisational work.
