Performer
As a soloist and chamber musician, Eva Maria has performed internationally with festival appearances in the UK and across Europe. She is particularly well known for her Chopin playing. She has performed for the Chopin Society, at the Chopin celebrations in Bergen and at London’s St.Katherine’s Dock as part of the bicentenary of Chopin’s birth. She has also played in the Tivoli Mozart Festival, Copenhagen, the Beethoven festival in Malmo as well as many British festivals including Tunbridge Wells, Greenwich and Docklands and Edinburgh Fringe.
A keen interest in contemporary music has led her to work with composers, Gorecki and Per Norgard and led her to give the Uk premier of Norgard’s Cantica for Cello and Piano. Television appearances include broadcasts on the BBC and T.V. Polonia as well as Polish radio. She teaches at the Royal Academy of Music Junior Department and is an adjudicator for the British International Federation of Festivals.
Eva Maria won a scholarship to study at the Royal Northern College of Music winning many prizes and was generously funded by the Countess of Munster Trust, completing postgraduate studies. She won a government scholarship to study under Professor Jasinkski at the Szymanowski Academy in Poland. She also completed her Second Phase Postgraduate studies in Amsterdam. A travel scholarship granted Eva the Royal Danish Academy Soloist Program with extensive work in Scandinavia.
“an emotionally committed pianist who sensitively conveys both the lyricism and dramatic drive of the music” Polski Informator
