Aleksander Dębicz
Aleksander Dębicz is one of Poland’s most versatile pianists as well as a composer. His two main points of departure are improvisation and his own original music, which he frequently combines with the works of old classical masters. His love of film music, reflected for years in his own output, marks a key direction in his current activity as a composer.A graduate of Warsaw’s Chopin University of Music (piano class of Elżbieta Tarnawska), Dębicz has presented his own works, improvisations, as well as classical and new music in Poland and abroad in, among others, Germany, France, the United States, Romania, Italy, Austria, and Turkey. In 2022 he joined Polish Radio Orchestra in Warsaw under Michał Klauza for the premiere of Maciej Małecki’s Symphonie concertante, of which Dębicz is the dedicatee. In the same year he made his debuts at such very different, prestigious music festivals as the Duszniki International Chopin Piano Festival (in a duo with Marcin Zdunik) and Męskie Granie (with Jakub Józef Orliński).
The artist’s numerous accolades include the 1st prizes in the Transatlantyk Instant Composition Contest (the world’s only competition for simultaneous improvised composition of film music) and Spitfire Audio’s 2022 Bridgerton Scoring Competition, in which his composition to a fragment of Netflix series Bridgerton was selected as the best of four thousand submitted entries by a jury consisting of Kris Bowers (author of the original Bridgerton soundtrack) and the Spitfire Audio team. Since 2024 Dębicz has been under an exclusive recording contract with international label Warner Classics & Erato.
