Grzegorz Niemczuk

For his Paris debut, pianist Grzegorz Niemczuk — winner of the 40th National Chopin Competition in Warsaw and described by a leading Japanese critic as a "contemporary reincarnation of Chopin" — presents an exceptional concert as part of a major European tour taking in London, Vienna, Prague, Budapest, Warsaw, Helsinki, Reykjavik and Barcelona, among other cities. Through music and spoken word, he reveals the secrets, emotions and poetry of Chopin's masterpieces, in an atmosphere where the audience feels that the composer himself is playing for them.
