Currently based in London, Rozalia is already an acclaimed international performer. A prizewinner at numerous international competitions, she has appeared as a soloist at some of the world’s most prestigious venues, including Carnegie Hall and Walt Disney Concert Hall, as well as performing across Europe and throughout Poland. The concert concludes with Elgar’s magnificent Symphony No.2 — a deeply expressive and richly orchestrated work that combines English warmth, passion and grandeur.
