Weronika Weiss (Warsaw, 2002) started playing the violin at the age of six at a music
school in Gdańsk, and later transfered to Warsaw, studying under prof. Jan Stanienda.
She has been participating in competitions since she was seven years old, and has
won first and special prizes in over 30 international competitions for young students
in Poland and abroad. During her musical study years she performed solo and
chamber music in countries such as Austria, Germany, Italy, Hungary, Serbia,
Slovenia and the US. In 2018 she performed Sibelius violin concerto with the
Luzerne Symphonic Orchestra at the international music course and competition in
New York. She has also taken part in various theatre performances working closely
with dancers and creating live music background for dance-theatre productions, that
were shown in prefessional concert halls in Warsaw and Paris. She was invited to
play in fesivals such as Lerici Music Festival, Zeister Muziekdagen, Grachten
festival, Stift Music Festival and Festival Wonderfeel.
