Szymon Nehring is one
of the most gifted and promising pianists of the younger
generation in Poland. His remarkable performances at the 17th
Fryderyk Chopin International Piano Competition in Warsaw
meant that he was the only Pole to reach the finals, which led
to many invitations for concerts from Poland and abroad.
Currently a student of Professor Stefan Wojtas at the
Academy of Music in Bydgoszcz, he studied piano in the class
of Olga Łazarska at the Mieczysław Karłowicz Primary Music
School in Krakow and at the Fryderyk Chopin Secondary Music
School in Krakow for 11 years. Nehring regularly participates
in competitions and festivals. His recent achievements include
First Prize and six Special Prizes at the Halina
Czerny-Stefańska in Memoriam International Piano Competition
in Poznań (2014) and First Prize at the Arthur Rubinstein in
Memoriam Competition in Bydgoszcz (2014). In October 2015 he
performed in the finals of the 17th Fryderyk Chopin
International Piano Competition, winning an Honourable
Mention, the Audience Prize as well as a number of extra
prizes, including awards for outstanding artistic creation and
for his contribution to Polish music.
His debut CD,
featuring music by Polish composers, was released in November
2015 and received the Fryderyk Award 2016 from the Polish
Phonographic Academy (in the category Album of the Year – Solo
Recital), the Joker from Crescendo magazine, and the
Supersonic Award from Pizzicato magazine. In December 2015
Nehring embarked on a concert tour with the Santander
Orchestra, playing Chopin’s Piano Concerto in E Minor in
Poland’s best concert halls in Lusławice, Wrocław, Katowice,
Warsaw and Szczecin. He performed with the same orchestra
during the 20th edition of the Ludwig van Beethoven Easter
Festival in Warsaw in March 2016, playing Rachmaninoff’s
Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Op. 43
The artist has given concerts in such
countries as Russia, Estonia, Ukraine, Hungary, Austria,
Germany, France, Norway, Italy, and Canada.
His upcoming
concert plans include performances in South America, China,
France,
and the United Arab Emirates, and in many cities
all over Poland.
Szymon Nehring is a recipient of
scholarships from the Pro Musica Bona Foundation (since 2010)
and the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage (2010). In
2015 he received
a Krystian Zimerman scholarship.
