Hear Chopin in an intimate Old Town salon near the Royal Castle, with live piano, Polish mead or apple juice, and limited seating.
“It was a very beautiful setting, we were given a very friendly welcome and there was a little something to drink. We were also shown around straight away to see where we could sit and where we would be. Then the performance began. We listened intently and followed the pianist, sometimes with our eyes closed. It was sometimes very relaxing and then very emotional. He was very absorbed in Chopin's pieces and played them with passion. Between pieces, he took a brief moment to prepare for the next piece and remained focused. It was a very interesting performance. It was our first time at a piano concert and we were…”

Hear Chopin’s études, nocturnes, and polonaises in Warsaw’s intimate Fryderyk Concert Hall, with a drink and daily 7 pm performances.

Enjoy a one-hour Christmas concert by Krakow’s Royal Chamber Orchestra in a 15th-century hall, with wine and a festive old-town setting.
“The musicians provided a very good selection of Christmas music very professionally played. The quartet played with the violins positioned facing the viola and cello rather than the audience which seemed strange to me. Also it would have been nice to have had an encore.”
Hear Chopin by candlelight in Krakow’s Bernardine Church, with award-winning pianists, VIP seating, and a glass of wine included.
“The piano player flew in the room one minute before the scheduled time. He quickly changed clothing in the next room. The room where the concert was held was very warm, seemed like over 90 degrees. The air conditioning was either not working or was not on. The piano player had no personality whatsoever. His piano playing was mediocre at best. VERY HOT and uncomfortable!”
