The concert series is set to open Sunday at noon with a recital by American pianist Kevin Kenner, who is considered one of the world’s most outstanding performers of the works of Fryderyk Chopin.
Due to restrictions caused by the coronavirus pandemic, all concerts have been pre-recorded and will be made available online each Sunday at noon on the YouTube channel of Poland’s National Fryderyk Chopin Institute and on social media.
In the coming weeks, more recitals will be given by prominent pianists such as Łukasz Byrdy, Aleksandra Hortensja-Dąbek, Mateusz Tomica, Viet Trung Nguyen, Maciej Wota and Edward Wolanin.
The Sunday recitals are traditionally held at Żelazowa Wola, where Chopin was born in 1810, as well as at the foot of Chopin’s monument in the Royal Łazienki Park in Warsaw. The first season was held in Żelazowa Wola in 1954.
The season runs until July.
