Experience Jan Lisiecki live on February 12th

Jan Lisiecki will perform at the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in Rome on February 12, 2027. Lisiecki is a Polish-Canadian pianist renowned for his poetic interpretations and technical precision. His repertoire spans from the core Classical and Romantic periods – particularly Chopin, Mozart, and Beethoven – to 20th and 21st-century works, often characterized by a lyrical quality and nuanced phrasing. He is noted for his insightful approach to musical structure and emotional depth, despite his relatively young age.

The Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia is one of the oldest musical institutions in the world. Founded in Rome in 1585 by Pope Sixtus V as a society dedicated to music, it initially functioned as a brotherhood promoting sacred music within the Papal Chapel. Over centuries, it evolved into a conservatory, school, and ultimately an academy encompassing performance, composition, research, and publishing. It has historically attracted leading composers and musicians including Palestrina and Scarlatti. The institution’s concert hall, the Aula Magna, is celebrated for its acoustics and architectural significance; it’s situated within the Palazzo Barberini and holds considerable cultural importance within Italy’s musical landscape.
