From Chopin to Komeda

Experience the magic of film music in a cinematic concert like no other with **From Chopin to Komeda**. Join the prestigious Lions Club Łódź for an unforgettable evening where the timeless beauty of Fryderyk Chopin’s masterpieces—captured on the soundtrack of Roman Polanski’s Oscar‑winning film *The Pianist*—comes alive in the hands of celebrated pianist Paweł Kowalski, the renowned commentator of the 19th Chopin Competition, and the virtuoso Vista String Quartet. Listen to the soaring waltz from Andrzej Wajda’s *The Promised Land*, the poignant themes of Krzysztof Kieślowski’s *Blind Chance*, and the dramatic score of *Death and the Maiden*. Drift into a dreamy lullaby from *Rosemary’s Baby* with Krzysztof Komeda and explore the shining quintet by Juliusz Zarębski, a 19th‑century keyboard master whose works echo Chopin’s genius. This program, delivered by a trio of continents‑wide performers—Paweł Kowalski, the First Sight String Quartet (violin, Krzysztof Bzówka; violin, Jakub Grott; viola, Marek Czech; cello, Tomasz Błaszczak)—will bring together the elegance of Chopin, the filmic gravitas of Wojciech Kilar, and the cinematic allure of Komeda. Don’t miss the world‑famous Wojciech Kilar waltz dialogue with Jerzy Maksymiuk, an emotional piano–string interplay. Whether you are a devotee of Chopin or a fan of cinematic scores, this concert film promises an evocative, lush, and deeply moving performance that celebrates the best in Polish film music.
