Chopin Piano Concert at Chopin Gallery with a Glass of Wine

What a wonderful evening! The Gallery is very near the historic square so we had an early dinner then walked over. The host was very nice. Our pianist, a student at the conservatory, was fantastic! The music was brilliant and wonderfully performed. Treat yourself to a fantastic evening in Krakow and buy tickets to a concert!

I am not a serious classical music fan but I do enjoy some and thought that when I was in Krakow I would give Chopin a try. But it turned out to be heavy duty stuff. While there is no doubt that the pianist was very talented but he was so stiff you would think that he had a poker up a certain part of his anatomy and I didn't like the snobbery of not speaking or engaging with the audience. And he could have played a few of Chopin' s better known pieces but it was all very heavy. It's an hour of my life that I won't get back and the half glass of cheap fizzy wine didn't ease the pain. Fortunately we were entertained by some wonderful traditional music in the Stary Port bar afterwards for free and that dispelled the memory of a painful hour.

Something totally different for me to do and I was amazed ,was a great night with a great pianist,nice wee glass of wine also

For the price an excellent way to gain a flavour of Chopin. There are 4 pianists take different nights to perform an hour or so of his compositions. Each chooses their own play list. On Saturday we had a young man who was a virtuoso with many years concert and recital experience. The room is 2 storeys up in a well-hidden old building, just a few steps from the main square - we had scoped it out earlier in the day and had walked past the doorway twice before we spotted the sign. Capacity probably around 100; about 60 in the audience including a large party of students. Some Mazurkas, Nocturnes and Ballades entertained us - have to confess I only recognised one or two. The lack of clapping at the end of each piece took us by surprise and we noticed others were also wondering - but it seems to be the convention not to clap until the end. More cultured audiences may know this! It was a fun way to spend an hour and a half - the fizzy wine was palatable, if a little sweet.

Excellent concert from a world class pianist preforming Chopin. The venue was central and easy to find and was a good setting for the event. A short talk from the host at the beginning introduced the concert and explained a little of Chopins life and work. Brilliant performance!

Great pianist and nice cosy place. Don’t forget to clap and request a « bis » once she leaves after the last piece ... ours wasn’t insisting enough and she ended up not coming back!😊

Beautiful experience, well organized. Pawel Kubica clearly made justice to Chopin's pieces . Grateful to the organizers for arranging something so pleasing.

A lovely evening of piano music in a lovely old building in Central Krakow Highly recommended and excellent value

My family thoroughly enjoyed this piano concert at the Chopin Gallery. It was a wonderful setting although the room got a little warm as the concert progressed. Dress in light clothing if you go in the warmer months. Our pianist was Witold Wilczek. He was superb. This was a great way to experience some of the history and culture of Poland.

C’était une belle expérience: bon vin, très bon pianiste, bon choix des morceaux interprétés dans un joli cadre.
