Winiarski made her professional solo debut at the age of 16 with the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center of Performing Arts in Washington DC, USA. Since then, she has performed on stages alongside internationally acclaimed ensembles, including recent debuts with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic, the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra and Gävle Symphony Orchestra. She has recorded for the BIS label, and her performances have been broadcast on medici.tv, Radio France, and the Swedish Radio P2. From an early stage in her musical journey, she has cultivated profound relationships with orchestras, instrumentalists, conductors, and composers worldwide.

 

Acknowledged for her outstanding talent, Winiarski has claimed prestigious prizes, including the Nicholas A. Firmenich Prize at the Verbier Festival and the Anders Wall Giresta Scholarship. She emerged as a laureate at the esteemed "Classe de excellence de violoncelle" in Paris, mentored by renowned cellist Gautier Capuçon during the 2017/2018 season. Since 2020, Winiarski is performing on the Lynn Harrell cello, crafted by David Tecchler in Rome in 1711, entrusted to her by the Järnåker Foundation.

Her passion for exploration is evident in her wide repertoire. While excelling in standard repertoire, she also brings lesser-known gems to the audience. In 2021, she made history by opening the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic's post-pandemic season as the first cellist ever to perform Marie Jaëll's cello concerto in Sweden. Adding to her impressive resume, she served as the solo cellist in the Swedish Chamber Orchestra during the 2021-2022 season.

As a frequent and appreciated performer, Kristina Winiarski has earned her acclaim as one of the rising stars among young Scandinavian soloists. With a musical expression that is both heartfelt and profound, she continues to captivate audiences worldwide, leaving a lasting impression that resonates long after the final note.
