Chopin Resonances Today

Chopin’s music is a lasting European legacy admired worldwide, transcending time and space. We examine how the Franco-Polish musician continues to fascinate a young generation of multi-disciplinary artists, non-professional musicians and ordinary people. Chopin’s work has a seductive power through its intimate, rather melancholic and strangely mysterious nature.

Chopin Resonances Today is a series of events to soothe the spirit and unite our common humanity. Chopin remains one of the greatest piano composers praised by the world over from North to South, and East to West.
