Critics call 15-year-old Jan Lisiecki an "aristocrat of the piano," an "extraordinary talent," "one of the most sensational young artists", and praise him for "poetic and imaginatively executed playing". According to the July 2010 BBC Music Magazine, Jan "is perhaps the most 'complete' pianist of his age."

Jan had his orchestral debut at the age of 9, and has since performed as a soloist more than 50 times with orchestras in Canada and internationally, including the National Arts Centre Orchestra, L'Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal, L'Orchestre Symphonique de Québec, Minnesota Orchestra, Sinfonietta Cracovia, Suwon Philharmonic Orchestra, and Sinfonia Varsovia, to name a few. On January 1st 2010 Jan had the honour to open the Chopin 200th Birthday celebrations from the composers' birthplace, Żelazowa Wola. In January 2010, he gave a "dazzling" performance of the Chopin Concerto No. 1 in E minor at the MIDEM Classical Awards Gala in Cannes, France. In April, Jan was asked to substitute for Nelson Freire in four concerts France, in May he opened the Seoul International Music Festival in Korea. In July he performed for Her Majesty the Queen of England and a hundred thousand people on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Canada. Jan is already engaged for the 2011/2012 season with multiple orchestral and solo performances across the world.

Jan has played at Carnegie Hall, the Warsaw Philharmonic Concert Hall, the Seoul Arts Centre, Gasteig, Kaufman Hall, Salle Cortot and has shared the stage with Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zukerman, James Ehnes, and Emanuel Ax. He performed in USA, Korea, China, Japan, France, Germany, England, Scotland, Italy, Guatemala, Germany, Poland and throughout Canada. Jan is a dedicated performer of chamber music and has collaborated with the New Zealand String Quartet, Quatour Ebene, and Penderecki String Quartet, appearing on festivals including the Merano Festival, Menton Festival, d'Auvers-sur-Oise Festival, Seoul Festival, Chopin and his Europe Festival and many others in Canada and USA.

Recognized for his poetic and mature playing, Lisiecki was awarded many prestigious awards including 2010 "Debut Atlantic" and 2010 CBC Révélations Radio-Canada Musique.

Jan has won numerous major Canadian music titles. In 2009 he was awarded Grand Prize at the OSM Standard Life Competition (the youngest in history). In 2008 he won the Grand Award in both the Canadian Music Competitions (June 2008) and the Canadian Music Festival (August 2008, as the youngest in history). Jan was a prize winner in seven international competitions in the USA, Italy, England, and Japan.

In 2008, Jan performed the Chopin F minor Concerto and was named the sensation of the prestigious festival "Chopin and His Europe" in Poland. In 2009, he returned to Warsaw performing the Chopin E minor Concerto, receiving glowing reviews and praise from critics. The concerts where broadcast by the Polish Radio. Jan's debut CD, featuring these two live performances, with Sinfonia Varsovia and Howard Shelley, was released at the beginning of 2010 by the Fryderyk Chopin Institute as catalogue No. 1 on the new "White Series".

The CD was awarded the prestigious Diapason d'Or Découverte award in May 2010. The Diapason describes Lisiecki as "an unmannered virtuoso already with virile and above all, irresistibly natural playing." The BBC Music Magazines' July 2010 review commended "Lisiecki's mature musicality," and his "sensitively distilled" interpretation of the contrasting concerti, playing "with sparkling technique as well as idiomatic pathos", noting that "even in a crowded CD catalogue, this refreshingly unhyped CD release is one to celebrate".
Among others, Jan performances have been broadcast on CBC Canada, BBC Radio, Polish Radio, French Radio, Luxembourg Radio, Austrian Radio, and German Radio, as well as on French Television 3 and the TV 1 and 2 in Poland. Jan was featured in the CBC "Next!" Series as one of the most promising young artists in Canada, and in the Joe Schlesinger 2009 CBC National News documentary "The Reluctant Prodigy".
Jan performs frequently for various charity organizations, including the David Foster Foundation, the Polish Humanitarian Organization and the Wish Upon a Star Foundation. In June 2008 he was appointed a National Youth Representative by UNICEF Canada.

Upon the school board's recommendation Jan was accelerated four grades and will be graduating in January 2011 from Western Canada High School in Calgary, Canada.
