In the beautiful interior of the Fryderyk Concert Hall, lit only by the glow of candles, we will listen to the compositions of Fryderyk Chopin performed by extraordinary artists - outstanding musicians of our time.

The concerts are two-part recitals lasting about 60 minutes, based on the idea of salon musical meetings popular in the 19th century. During the break of the concert we will treat you with a glass of sparkling wine.

Please arrive 15 minutes before the concert.
