The 19th International Fryderyk Chopin Piano Competition: Laureate Recital / Piotr Alexewicz - NOSPR

Who is going to win this year? That is the question echoing among all who are closely following the lead-up to the International Fryderyk Chopin Piano Competition. Few events hold greater prestige on the global musical map. For nearly a century, the world’s finest young pianists have competed here for the top prize, each bringing their own breathtaking virtuosity to astonish audiences with ever fresh perspective on the music of Fryderyk Chopin. Come October, we will be following the contestants’ efforts for the 19th time. In the course of several weeks, the world’s attention will turn to Warsaw, but shortly after the final results are announced, audiences will gather in Katowice. On Sunday evenings in November, the NOSPR invites you to a series of exceptional recitals given by the Competition’s prize-winners. For now, the performers and their programmes remain a mystery – the details will be divulged in the autumn. But one thing is certain: these recitals promise artistry of the highest order. They are not to be missed!
