The itinerary includes five more concerts in venues across Florida, in Daytona Beach, Orlando, Naples, Sarasota and Miami.

The repertoire consists of Chopin’s Piano Concerto in E-minor performed by Canada’s Bruce (Xiaoyu) Liu, the winner of the 2021 International Chopin Competition in Warsaw; the overture to the opera Paria by Stanisław Moniuszko; and symphonies by Brahms and Grieg.

In all the concerts, the Warsaw Philharmonic will be conducted by its music director Andrzej Boreyko.
