Take a look behind the scenes of one of the most prestigious piano competitions in the world and meet young artists who face not only Chopin's music, but also their own weaknesses, expectations and dreams.
We take a look at the preparations, the work of the organisers and jurors, the pianists off stage, as well as the social life behind the scenes at the Philharmonic and the events accompanying the Competition. 
We encourage you to follow us on the Chopin Institute YouTube Channel!
