Chopin concerts in the Royal Łazienki Park in Warsaw

We invite you to the 64th season of this year's Chopin Concerts in the Royal Łazienki Park in Warsaw.

Recitals by polish and foreign pianists, from Argentina, Spain, Italy, South Korea, China and USA will be available every Sunday between hours 12.00 – 16.00, starting from mid-May until the end of September.

In 1939, when Warsaw was under nazi occupation, the performance of Chopin's music was forbidden, and the following year (1940) the monument was blown up. Only after the end of the war, in the ruins of a wagon factory in Wrocław, Chopin's head was found in the Łazienki sculpture, and Szymanowski's work was reconstructed from a surviving plaster model. The Fryderyk Chopin monument was erected on its former place in 1958, and a year later the music of the polish artist resounded from here.

Over the years, concerts in Łazienki Park underwent various changes. Finally, the formula of clique recitals that take place every Sunday from mid-May to the end of September was adopted. This choice was dictated by the huge interest in concerts in Łazienki Park.
