The organizer of the competition will also award part of the prize money to Jan Maliński, a who will use it for the progress and development of his musical career of his choice (travel expenses, hotel, concert, master class, live competition…). 

I would like, to write a few words about what has been happening in my life and how I have used my award.

In 2025, I took part in the National Competition “Musical Talents 2025” in Poznań, where I was awarded second prize. In recognition of my achievements, I also received an award from the City of Poznań.

After that, I devoted myself entirely to preparing a new and demanding repertoire for my final diploma exam at the music high school, which I am now completing. I performed my exam at the end of March with great success, receiving the highest possible score of 25 points. Last week, I also passed my ear training exam with very good results.

In May, I will still be taking my final secondary school exams (matura) in general education subjects.

Preparing the new repertoire for my diploma exam took many months, which meant I was unable to participate in major competitions, concerts, or travel for such purposes. Instead, I focused on intensive work on my repertoire and gave smaller performances in my hometown of Poznań.

I invested the prize money I received in a my bow and in a thorough restoration of my violin, which required significant repairs. This undoubtedly contributed to a much better performance during my diploma exam.

On April 24, there will be the official graduation ceremony, the presentation of diplomas, and a concert of the best students, in which I will be performing.

Starting in October, I will continue my education at the university in Poznań.

Jan Maliński was born in 2008 and began learning to play the violin at the age of six. He graduated from the Poznań General Primary Music School No. 1 in the class of Sławomir Jarmołowicz, M.A., and is currently a student at the Poznań General Secondary Music School in the class of Prof. Karina Gidaszewska and Mateusz Gidaszewski, M.A.

Since the beginning of his musical education, Jan has eagerly participated in concerts and competitions, winning over thirty awards and distinctions. His most recent achievements include:

For his outstanding achievements, Jan has received the City of Poznań Award four times and has been awarded scholarships from the Puer Docilis Association. He has also performed as a soloist with the Chamber String Orchestra of the Academy of Music in Poznań, conducted by Marcin Suszycki, in the Aula of the University in Poznań.

Apart from music, Jan has many other interests, including technology, photography, and film production. From an early age, he has also been passionate about geography and world languages.

The European Association of Music Teachers and Performers and the production agency MIR Production helps laureates promote their musical careers and professional growth. During this challenging period for the whole world, the AMRICAN OPEN MUSIC COMPETITION has become an opportunity for many musicians to express themselves, gain experience and develop in the performing arts.
