Piotr Folkert is widely regarded as one of the most gifted and sensitive pianists performing today. His “stellar technique and insightful interpretations” have won him consistent critical acclaim and enthusiastic audiences worldwide, whether for his solo recitals, his orchestral engagements or his growing catalogue of recordings.

His performing schedule regularly takes him to the great concert stages of North America and has been highlighted by frequent engagements at the Carnegie Hall. Internationally, he has appeared in cultural capitols of Europe and Far East.
He received his master degree from the Szymanowski Academy of Music in Poland and continued his studies at Yale, Indiana University, and Mannes College of Music in New York City.
