[Klaudia Kudelko](https://klaudia-kudelko.com/) is a musician who can lift the mood of an audience with a single Mazurka on her piano. Many describe her talents as magical. Having played at some of the most distinguished stages in Europe and the United States, Klaudia Kudelko is a sensation with her widely loved ongoing concerts in the United States. Her engaging and soulful interpretations of the most famous classical pieces hold the audience tight to their seats till the end of her show.
Klaudia has been recognized by several notable musicians as she’s arguably one of the best in modern-day. She won best live performance at Carnegie Hall (Outstanding Performance Prize, New York – 2017), took first prize at the Concert Artists International Competition (New York – 2017), and was a finalist at the Los Angeles International Piano Competition (Honorable Mention, Los Angeles – 2019).
Klaudia is one of those artists who looks like they were born for music because of the precision that she has acquired over time. Her precision makes it look like she has always been a natural at the art of playing the piano. The way Klaudia carries her audience on a smooth sailing ride of classical music transcends them to a whole new world. This is why most have fallen in love with her talent. Klaudia has a unique approach towards her interpretations and she says that she is on a mission to make classical music more accessible to young music listeners and break the stigma of it being too "elite" for everyone to enjoy it.
In June 2021, Klaudia performed all sold-out Chopin concerts in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego. Her interpretations bring a unique singing tone as well as bravery in the virtuosity that makes the audience rewarded her with standing ovations. Klaudia's mission is to bring millennials closer to classical music and introduce them to its serenity.
“There are no better or worse listeners. Music is supposed to move the hearts of anybody who is open to it. If there are people who know Chopin’s music very well - great, but if there are people who want to attend my concert and have never heard Chopin before - I’m pleased to introduce them to it” Klaudia says.
Part of the pianist’s performances that have brought many people to tears is her explanation just prior to the last piece - Polonaise-Fantasy op. 61 by Chopin. The artist highlights the background of the piece in that it’s one of the last pieces Chopin composed being aware of his disease and imminent death. This experience opened the eyes of many listeners to how deeply personal Chopin’s music is. Klaudia's interpretation brings an unbelievable singing tone contrasted with a deeply dramatic build-up to the emotionally moving finale. This approach proves how philosophical the pianist is. Her excellent technical skills are the tools she uses flawlessly to connect the audience to the transcendence of Chopin’s music.
Klaudia has shows lined up in Arizona and California for the coming three months, dates of which are mentioned on her website, and a dream USA tour the next year, dates yet to be announced. Klaudia says she wants to reach the maximum number of people she can and spread the charm of Ballades and Etudes into the hearts of her audience with every show she performs. She often also plays composers other than Chopin in her live shows. Her rich repertoire consists of composers from the Baroque Era to contemporary music.
