About the Artist:

Patrycja Piekutowska, an outstanding violinist – soloist, DMA and PhD, successful motovational speaker, promoter of Polish culture in the world. During 25 years of her solo career, she played over 1200 concerts in 41 countries, performing in prestigious concert halls from Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, Sala São Paulo and Teatro Guaíra in Brazil, Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall in New York to the National Center for the Performing Arts in Beijing. South America took an extremely important place in her career, where since 2001 she has performed in most countries, playing nearly 70 concerts. For 15 years she lectured at the universities as an associate professor. She has recorded 12 CDs.

The “My journey around the world” concert contains songs about 12 cities on 4 continents with which the Artist is particularly connected. Patrycja Piekutowska also tells with great charisma the amazing stories she experienced in these cities. During the concert, the music is accompanied by visualizations of each of the cities presented musically.

The album "My Journey " is the only one containing popular music among the 12 solo albums of this outstanding violinist.

In 2022, the Artist performed songs from the My Journey album at a gala at the Ritz Carlton hotel in Dubai, the Better World Fund Gala charity gala during the Cannes Film Festival, and was a guest in Madrid during the 30th anniversary of Aims International. This music was also played on the roof of the Pullman Paris Eiffel Tower hotel, overlooking the Eiffel Tower only 300 m away, on the occasion of the annual French Music Festival (Fete de la musique).

Patrycja Piekutowska also has the gift of writing. Until now, she had left absolutely amazing stories that happened to her at every latitude for her friends and acquaintances. However, after a serious accident, her life stopped. She also decided to close one of the chapters of her professional life. The artist was an ambassador for the Children's Health Center for 4 years and collected funds for modernization activities for the hospital. Therefore, she decided to write a book. "Impossible Adventures" are 22 stories on 5 continents, which are authentic, tear-jerking or heart-moving events from the Artist's artistic journeys combined with musical performances.

If you want to know why it was impossible to enter the wet stage in Beijing, what difficulties bathing in a black bathtub in Venezuela involved, how the Artist rode a rickshaw in the snow in New York, who took part in the chase after the thief in Lima, why you can almost break the Guinness Record in an elevator or be like Usain Bolt in Sydney - you will find out during the recital or read "Impossible Adventures".
