Time for Chopin – daily Chopin concerts in the heart of Warsaw
The cultural initiative Time for Chopin is a daily Chopin concert, which, in addition to tourists from Poland and abroad, also attracts many Varsovians. Every day at 6:00 p.m., you can listen to the works of Fryderyk Chopin performed by outstanding pianists. The concerts take place in the atmospheric interiors of the Old Gallery of the Association of Polish Art Photographers (ZPAF) at Plac Zamkowy 8. Time for Chopin also has an offer for companies and institutions, thanks to which the master's music can enrich a business meeting or resound during a private concert.
Regular Time for Chop concertsin
The interiors of the Old Gallery of the ZPAF resound with the wonderful music of a Polish composer associated with Warsaw every day at 6:00 p.m. A concert is a unique and moving experience for many people, as well as a moment of relaxation and immersion in the sounds of Chopin's most beautiful pieces. During the break, guests can taste a traditional Polish drink. In addition to ticketed concerts, Time for Chopin also includes free occasional events, such as recitals during the Night of Museums, concerts on the occasion of Independence Day or meetings for children.
Business offer and private concerts
The Time for Chopin team also offers the organization of private concerts, both in the Old ZPAF Gallery and in a place indicated by the Client. It is also possible to organize a private concert combined with a sightseeing program in Warsaw, e.g. along the Fryderyk Chopin trail. The organizer provides pianos, the sound of which is adapted to the conditions of the room. Additionally, thanks to the recently established cooperation with the Amber Museum, Time for Chopin has gained the opportunity to organize concerts in a second location in the heart of Warsaw, i.e. in the Amber Museum hall at Rynek Starego Miasta 4/6.
