This offers a fantastic passage into Poland’s rich cultural and historical narrative. Embark on your evening at the Chopin Gallery, nestled in the core of Krakow’s historic Old Town.

Very skilled pianist performs - An excellent performance (with 11 difficult pieces included) and a warm welcome when we arrived at the small, intimate concert hall.

Very impressive pianist - Pianist for the day was Pawel Kubica. He played about 10 of Chopin’s pieces without any scores and it was so impressive. The place was small and intimate, just like how Chopin used to like playing for a smaller group.

Great pianist in a small setting - There were about 25 pax in a smaller setting. Pianist Pawel Kubrick was great and played around 11 pieces. As someone who plays the piano, I can tell that these aren’t easy pieces and Pawel did a very great job!

We were in awe - We were blown away by the performance. Dmitri was the pianist and he is so talented. His bass clef/left hand skills were particularly impressive, speaking, myself, as an amateur pianist (of 35 years). The hour flew by.
The location was very convenient, near the Old City square. There was bathroom at the venue. I would definitely do this again!

Quiet sophisication in the old town - One hour of sophistication in a small venue in the old town. It is just one pianist and a selection of music by Chopin. Even if you are not an expert you will recognise some of the pieces. If you love classical music, then this is for you!

Masterful and intimate chamber concert - We were treated to 11 Chopin songs by the magnificent Paweł Kubica. This was not a good pianist reciting sheet music, but a master playing Chopin's repertoire from memory.
The room itself was relatively small, which gave the whole experience an intimate chamber music vibe.
I definitely recommend this, even if you're not familiar with Chopin's music, which was the case for me. An hour well spent.

Chopin by Pawel Juwica is magnificent - What a performance by Pawel Kuwica! A very talented musician. He played several key pieces and performed without score and without mistakes.

Enjoy a Chopin Concert in Krakow - For classical music lovers, this was a nice experience and an enjoyable way to spend some time in the evening before catching a late evening dinner in Krakow after the wonderful performance by a local pianist. It's advisable to get there a bit earlier, say 20-30 minutes before the start, if you wish to get a good front row seat on the left side of the hall. Seating is on a first-come-first-serve basis. At the beginning of the concert, the audience was given a brief explanation and then advised not to video-record the pianist while he is performing. The local wine was not bad either, and it was nice having it just before the performance began. Overall, it was a nice activity before building up one's appetite for a good dinner somewhere close by thereafter.

Good hour of music - Music great. Wine too sweet and certainly not champagne. Good use of an extra hour.
Don't ask for more words again please.

Missed concert - Unfortunately we missed this performance as we were late getting back from a trip to Auschwitz-Birkenau due to a broken down lorry . The team were not very understanding and told us to rebook for the next day
