ABOUT

Considered to be the most gifted and promising pianist of his generation in Poland, Szymon Nehring is the only Pole to have won first prize at the Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Competition in Tel Aviv (2017). He was also a finalist at the Chopin Competition in Warsaw with only 19 years of age.

Szymon performes with orchestras such as Sinfonia Varsovia, Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra, Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra in Katowice, NFM Wroclaw Philharmonic, Israel Symphony Orchestra, Bamberger Symphoniker, Hamburger Symphoniker, Orchester philharmonique de Marseille and Orchestre Paseloup in France and the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century, collaborating with conductors such as John Axelrod, Lukas Borowicz, Sylvain Cambreling, Karina Canellakis, Pablo Heras-Casado, Marzena Diakun, Lawrence Foster, Giancarlo Guerrero, Jacek Kaspszyk, Grzegorz Nowak, Pawel Przytocki, George Tchitchinadze, David Zinman and Omer Meir Wellber. He also performed and recorded with the late Krzysztof Penderecki, among other works Mr. Penderecki´s piano concerto.

Many recordings have already been released, in recital and with orchestra, including Chopin’s two piano concertos under the baton of K. Penderecki. During the 2024/25 season, a new minimalistic recording will be released, as well as the first Volume of a Chopin Solo Works Cycle for the Chopin Institute in Warsaw, a project meant to last several seasons. Amongst halls he will perform in this season are Bozar in Brussels, Laeiszhalle in Hamburg and La Seine Musicale in Paris. He will also perform Szymanowski´s 4th Symphony at home and on tour with the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra and Marin Alsop.

He started his education as a student of the M. Karłowicz’s Primary School and then the F. Chopin’s Secondary Music School in Cracow (2008–2014), which he graduated with distinction, being in the piano class of Olga Łazarska. Then he graduated from the Academy of Music in Bydgoszcz under the guidance of prof. Stefan Wojtas and in the period of 2017–2019 he has completed the Artist Diploma program at the Yale University in New Haven in the class of prof. Boris Berman. Since 2020, he has been a PHD student at the Doctoral School of the Academy of Music in Bydgoszcz in the class of prof. Katarzyna Popowa-Zydroń.
