Description

The piano concerts are dedicated to the outstanding and most popular Polish composer - Fryderyk Chopin. His works resound in concert halls all over the world. During the solo concert, the pianist will present his most famous compositions, such as: Impromtu Fantaisie, Preludes and Scherzo No. 2. Chopin visited Italy only once during his life - Genoa - but while living in Warsaw, he encountered the music and culture of the Apennine Peninsula because of the Italians living in Warsaw who were around him. Alongside works by Fryderyk Chopin, we will hear truly Italian compositions in unique arrangements for solo piano by composers such as G. Verdi, P. Mascagni and G. Puccini. What also makes the concerts unique are the exceptional venues, architectural gems with superb acoustics - the Waldensian Church and the Methodist Church in Rome. A unique opportunity to enjoy a piano concert in a church. From Monday to Saturday we perform at Waldensian Church and on Sundays at Methodist Church. Programme: G. Verdi Preludio da Traviata F.
