Piotr Anderszewski - comes from a Polish-Hungarian family. He started playing the piano at the age of 6. He studied at the conservatoires of Lyon and Strasbourg, the Music Academy in Warsaw, and the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. He participated in the masterclasses of Fou Ts'ong, Murray Perahia and Leon Fleisher at the Accademia Pianistica in Imola (Italy).

His performance of Beethoven's Diabelli Variations at the 1990 International Piano Competition in Leeds paved the way to a debut at the Wigmore Hall in London and Anderszewski's international career. He has appeared in England (with the Royal Philharmonic and London Symphony Orchestra), Ireland, Germany (Beethoven concert cycle with the Munich Philharmonic in 1996), France, Austria, Portugal, Italy, Poland and the United States. In 2001, he performed Karol Szymanowski's Symphony No. 4 'Concertante' with Charles Dutoit. He also has Szymanowski's Métopes, Masques, Piano Sonata No. 3, and Mazurkas in his repertoire.

Piotr Anderszewski has also appeared as a chamber musician with Victoria Mullova, with whom he has recorded three CDs for Philips (featuring sonatas by Brahms, Janáček and Prokofiev), Andrzej Bauer, and with his sister Dorota, a violinist. Two seminal CDs have been published by Polish label CD Accord: a duo CD with his sister and Anderszewski's first solo record with works by J. S. Bach, Beethoven and Webern. The latter was enthusiastically received by the critics and received the Polish phonographical award 'Fryderyk' in 1996. This CD and subsequent recordings by Anderszewski are available on Virgin Classics, with whom he has signed an exclusive contract.

Piotr Anderszewski has received several prestigious awards, including the Gilmore Artist Award in 2002 and the Karol Szymanowski Prize in 2000 for his interpretation of the composer's works. He also received Polish weekly "Polityka"'s 'Passport' award.

During 18-28 March 2009 Anderszewski begins another chapter in his collaboration with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra. This time he will play and direct performances of Mozart's piano concerti KV456 and KV491. The SCO's concerts in Scotland are followed by appearances in Hungary, Poland and Istanbul.
