SUMMER CONCERT BY CANDLELIGHT | HARUKA MATSUMOTO
Achievements
By the light of candles, we will listen to beautiful music, and during the break on our charming patio, under the moonlight, we will treat ourselves to a glass of exquisite champagne.
In the elegant interior of the Fryderyk Concert Hall, illuminated only by candlelight, we will listen to extraordinary artists - the outstanding musicians of our time.
The concert program, in addition to piano recitals, will also feature chamber music. Alongside the works of Fryderyk Chopin, we will hear compositions from baroque to late romanticism - by composers who influenced his work (including Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart) as well as representatives of a broad spectrum of European classical and romantic music (such as Vincenzo Bellini, Giacomo Puccini, Charles Gounod).
The concerts are two-part recitals lasting about 60 minutes, based on the popular 19th-century idea of salon musical gatherings. During the concert break, we will offer you a glass of sparkling wine.
