Anna was born in Łódź At seven she began her first piano lessons at home .A year and half later hypnotized by H. Szeryng just before her exam to piano class without any preparation she went to violin examination room instead. She was admitted. Very soon her playing was awarded by top prizes at the prestigious National Competitions for Young Violinists. She studied violin under the tutelage of Prof.Zenon Ploszaj .At the age of fifteen she made her successful debut at Polish String Masters playing Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto.After graduating at the top of her class from Wieniawski's Music High-school in Lodz and passing exams to Music Academy in Lodz to continue study with prof. Z. Ploszaj, prof. Ploszaj found info about Violin Competition in Aspen and told her to ,,try". She went to America with me as her guardian/ accompanist and won this competition. What prof . Z.Ploszaj did not know awards were in form of scholarships, not cash .And this is how she landed first at CCM in Cincinnati ( prof .P.Milewski )and later at Juillard School of Music in NYC( prof.D.Delay , prof H.Kang )with full scholarships in both and also awarded by full scholarship to Manhattan School to study with Pinchas Zuckermann but was badly advised to choose prof .D.Delay or rather Julliard. In recognition of her scholastic achievements she become a member of Golden Key Society,Green card recipient for Alien of Extraordinary Ability but most importantly first Pole ever in very prestigious Stradivari Society ( Midori, Vengerow ) Ania's outstanding performances always drew standing ovations.Both audiences &music critics compared her to Heifetz, .Perlman ,Hassid., Kreisler. Hassid was a pupil of prof.M.Michalowicz and prof.I.Dubiska in Warsaw. Anna's violin teacher prof.Z.Ploszaj was also a pupil of prof. Dubiska and Yurij Yankelevich.Yankelevich who was a pupil of Auer . Auer was a teacher of Heifetz ,Auer was pupil of Joachim who was a pupil of Serwaczynski .So maybe her vibrato is a little like Hassid and her spiccatos , laser accuracy like Heifetz but she is just unique.Her album Virtuosity with London Symphony Orchestra was a sensation in classical music world

"
Anna gets exactly what she wants, because she possesses a truly formidable technique.Her laser-like accuracy is a thing of wonder.(,,,) stunning...(....) better played than Itzhak Perlman's own recording".M. S.Jordan, Mount Vernon News

,Miss A. Karkowska is performing with great sense of creativity and shows a deep understanding of composer intentions. Her brilliant technique enables her to apply the proper means of expressions.Furthermore I would like to point out her sensibility for the beauty of sound."Prof. Kazimierz Michalik

Anna Karkowska has been my pupil for 7 years. She is a versatile violinist. She has great technical predispositions with amazing mastery of her left hand.Great musical expression makes possible for her to execute any musical composition in a very individual and interesting way with formidable ease.This year she has completed her education in H. Wieniawski's Public High school of Music in Lodz with highest grade of 25 scores in her final violin's examination.Concert hall resistance, a lovely tone and communication with audience presage an artistic career."Prof.Zenon Ploszaj

".Her technical precision and musical expression were amazing(...) It was easy to detect Anna's love both for her instrument and for the music(...)the audience reacted at the end of the first movement of Tchaikovsky Concerto with standing ovation and again at the end of the concerto with another standing ovation."Dr.H. Wortman ,News Journal

Anna dazzled with harmonics even on the lowest strings ,pizzicato with both hands, runs arpeggios, mighty chords...amazing (....) the audience went wild with applause and a standing ovation"F.Volkmer ,Southampton News

"a young artist of extraordinary gifts.(...) Bravo."George Zak, Lexington Philharmonic

"a true virtuoso" .Betty Hamilton ,President Fine Arts Association of Southeastern Kentucky

Kurt Vonnegut once said,,Music is proof of God's existence",and you were just the angels to bring us that gift(...)We all felt your power , here in our small town,you played your hearts out for us as if it were Carnegie Hall.
There we were ,800 souls held breathless,quiet as mice ,hanging on every note,our aches and pains forgotten.Our troubles flew out the window,along with fretting about crabby spouses. And when you finished, we jumped to our feet like 10-year-olds.(...)So thank you for your masterful performance- such happy abandon and virtuosity running neck to neck!
