Presented by Polish Jazz Festival
Polish trumpet virtuoso Piotr Wojtasik makes a rare London appearance at Kings Place as part of the Polish Jazz Festival.
Join us at Kings Place for a very special evening with one of Poland’s most celebrated jazz artists, Piotr Wojtasik. A master of the trumpet and a deeply expressive composer, Wojtasik has spent over four decades shaping European jazz with his distinctive voice and boundary-pushing creativity.

With his long-standing commitment to improvisation and musical dialogue, this promises to be a night of richly textured soundscapes, dynamic interplay, and world-class musicianship.
