You will see the places where Chopin lived with his family, where he was educated, where he was giving his concerts. We will visit palaces, churches, parks and monuments. You will hear Chopin’s music directly on the streets as well as in the park during open-air recital.
You will discover beauty of Polish countryside in Zelazowa Wola – a small village over 50 km from Warsaw where Chopin was born. We will visit there the museum in a traditional 19th century manor house, surrounded by beautiful historical park, full of flowers and old trees. You will be walking alongside the narrow paths listening to the music, either played from CDs or performed during mini-recitals by young pianists. You will also see absolutely unique church in nearby Brochow, where Chopin’s parents got married and Frederic was baptized.
After coming back to Warsaw you can individually visit Chopin’s museum, the most modern biographical museum in Europe https://muzeum.nifc.pl/en or attend the evening recital of Chopin compositions (must be booked in advance) http://chopin.events/en/
