Ark and Laura in Florence 2005 (60 of 172)

Very talented musicians set up and play all over Florence/Firenze. Piotr was an exceptional talent in the Piazza della Republica after a rainy afternoon.

Piotr was born in 1974 in Gostynin, Poland. At the age of 10, he received his first guitar at a cultural center in Plock. From 1990, while a student at the Fredric Chopin School of Music in Warsaw, he studied the guitar with Ryszard Balauszko, and completed his studies at the Bialystok branch of the Academy of Music in Warsaw under the same professor. He studied postgraduate in Conservatorio de Musica in Las Palmas (Gran Canaria, Spain) with Carlos Orama, and in Ecole Normale de Musique - Alfred Cortot in Paris with Alberto Ponce.

This guy is REALLY good, and it was an outstanding performance. You can find out more and order CDs by visiting Piotr's website at www.piotr-tomaszewski.com. His email is there, so send him one and buy a CD! We bought two and they were marvelous to listen to on the drive home two days later! They are now favorites!
