Chopin 2010
Chopin in love - Mazovia inspirations (exhibition)
Date: December 17, 2009 until May 31, 2010.
Location: Warsaw's Ethnographic Museum
It presents links between Chopin’s oeuvre and folk music along with the composer’s imprint in the world’s different cultures. The exhibition will display folk instruments typical for Polish territories in Chopin’s time. You will also find there archive sound and video recordings featuring folk musicians and their performances. The visitors will also have a chance to listen to innovative renderings of the famous composer’s pieces using the sounds of the world’s five continents. The exhibition’s idea is well highlighted by its modern and expressive visual design. The exhibition’s script was written by Maria Pomianowska and the visual design was created by Grzegorz Wac³awek, Marcin Mostafa and Natalia Paszkowska.
