When Chicago meets Polish Violin Music
Polish violinist Kinga Augustyn, graduate of the prestigious Juilliard School, will perform at the Chicago Cultural Center with a repertoire entirely based on Polish compositions.
Accompanied by pianist Matthieu Cognet, the violinist will play pieces composed by Chopin (Nocturne in C-Sharp minor arr. Antoni Cofalik), Szymanowski, Henryk Mikołaj Górecki and Aleksander Zarzycki.
