Krzysztof Ścierański live in Krakow

Experience Krzysztof Ścierański live on August 28th

Krzysztof Ścierański will perform at the Msitj “Manggha” Museum of Japanese Art and Technology in Krakow on August 28, 2026. Ścierański is a Polish composer and performer known for his unique approach to acoustic instruments, particularly the piano. His music often incorporates extended techniques – preparations involving altering the instrument's sound through the placement of objects on or between the strings – resulting in percussive, textural, and often drone-like soundscapes. He frequently explores the boundaries between composed and improvised music, drawing influence from both contemporary classical music and experimental sound art.

Msitj “Manggha” is a branch of the National Museum in Krakow dedicated to Japanese art and technology. Founded by Feliks Manggha (Jan Szczepanik), a Polish engineer and philanthropist who lived in Japan in the late 19th century, the museum opened in 1994. The building itself, designed by Arata Isozaki, is architecturally significant, reflecting both Japanese aesthetics and modern design principles. Its location on the Vistula River adds to its distinctive character.
