The 6th Festival of Romantic Compositions will be held at the Royal Baths in Warsaw from August 30 to September 5 with Elsner and His Successors. With 4 chamber concerts and 3 piano recitals, the event will emphasize the works of 19th century Polish composers who formed the foundations of the national style. Not only that, but the performances will feature artists who have won national and international competitions.
The whole festival opens with a chamber concert, in which we will hear Józef Wieniawski's Piano Trio in G Major, Op. 40, which is currently being restored to the stage repertoire. Many more exciting concerts follow. See below for the full schedule and don't forget to mark your calendars!
