Life
Stanisław Syrewicz was born into a Polish family in Azov , Soviet Union . His parents were war refugees who subsequently returned via Lviv to Łódź , Poland , where he grew up. He studied music at the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music in Warsaw and then theater directing at the Aleksander Zelwerowicz Theater Academy in Warsaw .
