Born in Krakow, Joanna Trzeciak spent her youth in a country where the quest for material goods was not the most important issue. "To be" was more important than "to have." One can lose the fortune, yet the wisdom and knowledge are indestructible. That was the motto she learned at home and to which she is still faithful, even after many years of living in Belgium. The original, often controversially developed repertoire of the pianist's recitals is one of her characteristic features. Confrontations, contrasts, and concepts abound. Besides recording, she tours frequently giving masterclasses and recitals. She also dedicates time to her second great passion- hiking in high mountains. For this recital she has chosen three works by Ludwig van Beethoven.
