1.Chopin Concert in the Old Town

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 2,287 reviews · 1 hour · from $26Our pick

Spend one hour with Chopin in a small historic townhouse behind St. John’s Cathedral. Different pianists, including Katarzyna Glensk and Joanna, perform changing programs on a restored Pleyel piano, followed by Polish mead or apple juice and informal conversation.

“really gorgeous music in a nice space that feels very local and intimate. they were nice enough that when my child was getting antsy during the performance we could hear the concert outside in the garden, but it's summer and the weather is nice. note that the chairs are padded foldable chairs. this is a good snack sized concert that doesn't take itself too seriously.”
