I like Chopin

About the concert

The event “I like Chopin” is not a standard piano recital; it is a musical journey through the history and life of the artist—from his earliest works, written at the age of 7 under the inspiration of Polish folklore, through his Parisian period, when Chopin's music gained a more dramatic and profound expression, to the masterpieces from the final years of the composer's life.

The “I like Chopin” concert is exceptional because it helps you understand what inspired and guided the artist to compose a particular piece. Before each performance, we will present its historical background and the emotions that accompanied the artist during its creation.

We will also perform pieces by other world-class composers, such as R. Schumann (Germany), L. van Beethoven (Germany), E. Grieg (Norway), C. Debussy (France), W.A. Mozart (Austria), and S. Rachmaninoff (Russia), to present you with a broader perspective on the piano repertoire.
