Achievements
Welcome to the Valentine's Day Concert!
In the beautiful interior of the Fryderyk Concert Hall, we will listen to the compositions of the masters of classical music, performed by extraordinary artists - outstanding musicians of our time, who will touch the tender strings in the hearts of the Lovers!
In addition to the compositions of the greatest Romanticist of all time, Fryderyk Chopin, there will also be music by other composers who were inspired by Fryderyk Chopin (including Jan Sebastian Bach, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven), composers from the circle of European Romantic music (including Ferenc Liszt, Józef Elsner, Stanisław Moniuszko), as well as later creators.
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.
