The Bell Family Foundation Music Series presents Dr. Sławomir Dobrzański at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 6, in the Community Room! Praised by the Buenos Aires Herald as “one of the best Polish pianists,” Dobrzański currently serves as Professor of Piano at the School of Music, Theatre, and Dance at Kansas State University.

Originally from Wrocław, Poland, he is a graduate of the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music in Warsaw, Poland, and the University of Connecticut. Dobrzański released several world-premiere recordings of piano music, and he also is an author of the first biography of Maria Szymanowska in the English language.

As a soloist and chamber musician, Dobrzański performed in over 20 countries in Asia, Europe, and North and South America. Recently, the pianist was honored with the title of “Meritorious for National Culture” by the Government of the Republic of Poland.
