WOMEN'S DAY WITH CHOPIN | MACIEJ POLISZEWSKI

We invite you to the Fryderyk Concert Hall for special concerts celebrating International Women's Day. For ladies and their partners, we have prepared proposals that will interest classical music enthusiasts.

In the beautiful interior of the Fryderyk Concert Hall, we will listen to Fryderyk Chopin's compositions performed by Maciej Poliszewski.

The concerts are two-part recitals lasting approximately 60 minutes, based on the idea of salon musical meetings popular in the 19th century.

During the concert break, we will offer you a glass of sparkling wine.

Please arrive 15 minutes before the concert.
