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!

    Requiem for piano solo on the anniversary of Fryderyk Chopin’s death

    Chopin died on October 17, 1849, and was buried less than two weeks later, on October 30, at the Père-Lachaise Cemetery. The funeral mass was celebrated at the La Madeleine Church in Paris, and its musical setting consisted primarily of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Requiem.
