Born in 1925 in Sacramento, California, to Polish immigrants, Slenczynska gave her concert debut at the age of four (just as the world entered the Great Depression), performed on television aged five, and at six made her European concert debut in Berlin. 92 years later, the extraordinary pianist still performs to audiences around the world.‘MY LIFE IN MUSIC’ TRACKLIST:Rachmaninoff: 6 Romances, Op. 38: 3.
