Artur Haftman is an internationally acclaimed concert pianist who is highly praised for his creativity and musical sensitivity towards the works of Chopin by international music critiques.

Born in Stargard, Poland, Artur was highly influenced by his mother, Marzena Haftman, who was also a pianist. He began playing piano at the age of six with Ewa Kubiak-Kubacka and Jolanta Reszelska and made his début performance with Stargard Philharmonic Orchestra at the age of eight. Since his debut with the orchestra, Artur has received numerous awards in international competitions.

From 2013 to 2020, he studied at the Royal College of Music under Professor Dmitri Alexeev with the generous support of Gary and Eleanor Brass, Henry Wood Trust, Drake Calleja Trust, Talent Unlimited Musical Charity, the Hanna, and Zdzisław Broncel Charitable Trust and “Konfraternia Artystów Polskich.” Artur is currently based in London but he has a worldwide performing career.

He has given solo recitals across the United Kingdom, Poland, France, Lithuania, Italy, United States, Slovakia, and Germany. In particular, 2018 saw the launch of his debut CD in London which sold thousands of copies internationally.

Artur’s future plans include a Grand Solo Tour in China, Solo Recitals in the United Kingdom, and preparation for his next CD Launch.
