Chopin & Italian Friends Concerts with Traditional Italian Dinner
Rome, Chiesa Evangelica Valdese — Main Hall
About the Event
Experience an exceptional evening of piano classics at the impressive Chiesa Evangelica Valdese in Rome, featuring masterpieces by renowned composers such as George Gershwin, Giuseppe Verdi, Frederic Chopin, Giacomo Puccini, Claude Debussy, and Pietro Mascagni. The piano concerts are dedicated to the celebrated Polish composer, Fryderyk Chopin, whose compositions resonate in concert halls worldwide. The pianist will showcase his most famous works during the solo performance, including Impromptu Fantaisie, Preludes, and Scherzo No. 2.
Despite only visiting Italy once in Genoa, Chopin's exposure to Italian music and culture in Warsaw influenced his compositions. Alongside Chopin's works, the audience will also enjoy unique arrangements of Italian compositions by composers like G. Verdi, P. Mascagni, and G. Puccini. The exceptional venue of the Waldensian Church in Rome, renowned for its superb acoustics and architectural beauty, further elevates the concert experience.
Don't miss this unique opportunity to revel in a piano concert within the grandeur of a church setting. Following the performance, attendees are cordially invited to enjoy a traditional Italian dinner at the nearby Enoteca restaurant, creating a perfect end to the unforgettable evening.
