Magdalena is among Canada’s most respected musicians, appreciated for her genuine warmth, dedication, and artistic sensibility. Praised for presentations as soloist and in chamber music – Hétu, Schumann, Bernstein, Rachmaninoff, Bach, Beethoven and more – at the Festival of the Sound; in collaboration with soprano, Anna-Sophie Neher at Toronto’s magnificent Four Seasons Centre, as well as concerto performances with orchestra, Magdalena, with her quiet, kind demeanour, astonishes her colleagues and audiences alike with powerful, memorable interpretations.

Equally in love with teaching, Magdalena has joined the University of Prince Edward Island as Assistant Professor of Piano. She is sought after as an enthusiastic, encouraging, and skilled adjudicator, and conducts masterclasses as well as lecture recitals throughout Canada. Magdalena’s studies were completed at the University of Lethbridge (awarded the Faculty of Fine Arts Gold Medal), the University of British Columbia, and McGill University (recipient of the prestigious Joseph-Armand Bombardier Graduate Scholarship from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada) with distinguished professors Glen Montgomery, Jane Coop, and Stéphane Lemelin.

Her doctoral research focuses upon the late Piano Sonatas of Viktor Ullmann.
