Anna Dębowska graduated
with honors from Kraków Music Academy in the piano class of prof. Andrzej Pikul
in 1997 and then in 2005 earned the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts and her
post-doctoral degree in Musical Arts in 2013. In 1996 and 1997,
she won the Tadeusz Żmudziński piano competition (first prize and special prize
for the performace of Mazurkas by K. Szymanowski).
She has given performances in Poland, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, the UK, and the USA, including appearances with Krakw's Radio Symphonic Orchestra and the Tarnów Chamber Music Orchestra. As an accompanist, she has worked with a number of reputable pedagogists in their master classes, e.g. prof. Alison Pearce (London), prof. Christian Elßner (Drezden), prof. Charlote Lehmann (Hannover), prof. Ryszard Karczykowski, and prof. Helmuth Rilling (in Internationale Bachakademie Stuttgart).
Anna's repertoire
includes compositions from Baroque to contemporary music, both solo and chamber
music works, including compositions for violin, viola or cello, vocal works,
piano trios, and a selection of opera arias and oratorial works. She successfully
combines her artistic activity with the position of Assistant Professor at the
Chamber Music Faculty of Kraków Music Academy. Her latest albums include piano chamber music by a
Belgian composer - Joseph Jongen - one of those individuals that have so
undeservedly drifted into oblivion and Chopin the Undgrateful, as part of the Jane Stirling Project.
