He studied music in Frankfurt, Hanover and Warsaw, and shortly after his success in Vilnius in 1999 made his international début at the Great Hall of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory, Moscow. Subsequent seasons took him to the greatest concert halls of Eastern Europe, in Russia, Ukraine, Lithuania, Yugoslavia and Poland. His Warsaw Philharmonic recital in the 2003 season was given the highest critical acclaim and since then he has been a frequent guest at the National Philharmonic in Warsaw. Other notable appearances include festivals in Ravello, Bratislava, and the Kremlin Music Festival in Moscow, and in 2005 he was a jury member at the XXI International Piano Festival in Bucaramanga, Colombia. Jan Krzysztof Broja enjoys a busy schedule as a soloist in Poland and abroad, occasionally performing with Andrzej Bauer, one of the foremost European cellists. He collaborated as a musical consultant in the production of Roman Polanski’s Academy Award winning film The Pianist. Further concert tours have taken him to the United Kingdom, Paris and the Americas.
