Chopin Concerts - the right way

These vespertine Chopin Concerts at the Cracow Market Square have been organised only since last year, but already now it's unthinkable to resign from them. They are well accepted by people visiting the city of Cracow. Thanks to the Chopin Concerts, foreign tourists have the possibility to get acquainted with an important part of Polish culture expressed by Chopin and his music. Chopin is not only music, it is a way of thinking and living. The Concerts at the Cracow Philharmonics are great and worthy, but they primarily perform western composers which you can listen to all over the world.
