For those who still haven’t had enough of piano music during the Chopin Competition, we recommend the International Royal Kraków Piano Festival. Its 13th edition will be held online with Magdalena Lisak, Vahan Mardirossian, Tamari Jincharadze and Pietro De Maria presenting the programmes focusing on 19th-century piano music. The main part of the festival is complemented by concerts at Krynica-Zdrój and Zakrzów (Marian Sobula, artistic director of the festival), and Oświęcim and Nowy Sącz (Magdalena Lisak).
