Pola is a third-year student at the J. Elsner State Secondary Music School in Warsaw, where she studies flute under Dr. Seweryn Zapłatynski. At the same time, she is a student in Year 10 at Akademeia High School (British curriculum) and, for another consecutive year, a beneficiary of the Zdolni Fund.
Thanks to the support of the Rafał Brzoska Foundation, Pola has performed twice at Carnegie Hall in New York as a prizewinner of international music competitions. She is also a laureate of numerous competitions in Poland and abroad and regularly develops her skills through masterclasses. She has performed in cities including London, Vienna, Warsaw, France, and Monaco, and in 2019–2024 collaborated with the children’s choir of the Grand Theatre – Polish National Opera, taking part in productions such as La Bohème, Tosca, and The Nutcracker.
The Foundation’s support also enables her to participate in international masterclasses in Poland and abroad (including Italy, Spain, France, and the Netherlands) and to study with outstanding teachers such as Ulla Miilmann, Mario Caroli, Paul Edmund-Davies, Paolo Taballione, Urszula Janik, and Tomasz Sierant, as well as to engage with world-class artists including Jasmine Choi and Denis Buriakov.
Pola is also actively involved in volunteering and social initiatives. She has supported the Extraordinary Charity Concerts at the National Philharmonic, led music workshops for younger children, and performed at charitable and diplomatic events, including at the Embassy of the United Kingdom and during the “We Have One World” charity concert in London. She performed at Kings Place alongside young people from around the world. For several years, she has also been regularly performing for children and young people from inclusive and special education schools at the Capital Cultural Centre, viewing these activities as an important way of sharing music with people who have limited access to live concerts.
