About the event
Looking for an unforgettable experience and a moment of calm? The "I Like Chopin" piano concert redefines what a classical music event can be in Gdańsk. This is not an ordinary piano recital – it's an intimate story told by candlelight about the composer, his passions, his longings and his musical genius.
We'll take you on a fascinating journey through the life of Fryderyk Chopin – one of the greatest composers of all time. From his first, joyful pieces, written when he was just seven years old and fascinated by Polish folk music, through the mature work of his Paris years, to the reflective, melancholy compositions of his final years.
Emotion and history in every note
What sets the intimate "I Like Chopin" concerts apart on Gdańsk's cultural map is the unique combination of music and the spoken word.
We believe music resonates more fully when we understand what lies behind the notes. That's why we give every piece its context: we talk about the historical background and about the personal experiences and emotions that inspired the composer to create each masterpiece. It makes live music feel remarkably close, clear and moving.
What will you hear? Chopin in the company of the great masters
The heart of the evening is always the music of the Polish master. The programme includes the Mazurkas Op. 24 and 33, the Études Op. 10 and 25 led by the "Revolutionary", the Polonaise in A major Op. 40, the Ballade in F major, the famous Nocturne in E flat major Op. 9 No. 2, selected Preludes Op. 28 and the Funeral March from Sonata No. 2. These are among the most fascinating piano works written in the 19th century, and pieces that many people know even if they can't always name them.
To show the full richness of piano music, our concert also features works by other world-class composers such as Robert Schumann, Ludwig van Beethoven and Sergei Rachmaninoff.

Wonderful experience. Well organized on a nice venue with good acoustics. I particularly liked the intimate atmosphere and the explanations in between each piece.

What a wonderful experience! The venue is in the heart of Gdańsk, with convenient parking nearby, making it very easy to get to. From the very first minute, you could feel how much heart and passion the organizers had put into this concert. For over an hour, I completely forgot about the outside world and simply enjoyed being present in the moment. The music selection was beautifully varied, so there wasn’t a single boring moment. The bilingual hosting in both Polish and English made everyone feel welcome and included. After the concert, I even bought a Chopin T-shirt as a lovely souvenir! Pianist Maciej is incredibly talented and truly brings the music to life. I will definitely come back whenever I need to relax, slow down, and immerse myself in beautiful music. Highly recommended!

I like Chopin - Grand Piano Concert Would highly recommend. This was an amazing small concert, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The two young gentlemen that spoke and performed were very hospitable. They spoke in both Polish and English, and made everyone feel welcome. A variety of pieces were performed, with a histoical/contextual snapshot provided for each piece/set of pieces. The very talented musician played the grand piano beautifully.
