World renowed Windsor pianist Daniel Wnukowski and his wife Marta Potulska come home for a recital tomorrow night at MacKenzie Hall.
My next guest was three when he saw a transparent piano in a music store in Toronto.
That event led to a life long fascination with the piano and more specifically the music of Chopin. Daniel Wnukowski - after his introductory piano lessons in Windsor - went on to study at the Fredrick Chopin Academy of Music in Warsaw.
Over his career he has won numerous awards and has performed around the world.
And along the way he met his wife...violist Marta Potulska.Both are featured in a recital tomorrow night at MacKenzie Hall in Windsor.
