    „Fryderyk Chopin – auf den Spuren eines Genies“

    About the event

    The German connoisseur of Poland, Steffen Möller, meets the great Pole Fryderyk Chopin.

    To mark the 170th anniversary of Fryderyk Chopin's death, Steffen Möller has translated texts by the Warsaw music critic and writer Piotr Wierzbicki, from which he will read short excerpts.

    Aleksandra Mikulska, president of the Chopin Society, finds the right notes for this very special programme, performing a selection of Chopin's most striking works on the grand piano.

    Peter Oliver Loew will talk with both of them about the book and the composer.
