In June 2025, young pianist Guillermo Hernández Barrocal (17) travelled to Katowice, one of Poland’s musical capitals, to give a recital.
There, Guillermo performed a technically demanding and artistically profound programme featuring works by Haydn, Schumann and Rachmaninoff, winning over the Polish audience with his interpretive maturity and stage presence.
The recital came in an exceptional year for Guillermo, in which he was 🎖 a finalist for the Princess of Girona Awards (Arts) 2025
and was invited to the prestigious IKIF 2025 festival in New York.
📸 Katowice was not only another chance to show his talent, but one more step in a steadily growing international career.
