Is talent alone enough to achieve success?
In the next episode of Fireside Chat, Rafał Brzoska speaks with Kasia Pałowska – a Rafał Brzoska Foundation scholarship recipient, a student at the Karol Szymanowski Academy of Music in Katowice, and a clarinetist who regularly wins awards at national and international music competitions.
Kasia discusses her path to music, her daily preparations for competitions, and the challenges of combining intensive study with developing an artistic career.
In the interview, we discuss, among other things:
what is the daily life of a young musician like,
why talent is only the beginning of the journey,
how to deal with moments of doubt,
when it's worth taking risks and seizing opportunities.
Finally, Kasia asks President Rafał Brzoska the traditional question that appears in every episode of Fireside Chats:
What is more important – hard work or the willingness to take risks?
