Janusz Olejniczak, the pianist who will accompany the Les Agrémens ensemble, was awarded 6th prize in the International Fryderyk Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw in 1970. He took the role of Chopin in The Blue Note by Andrzej Żuławski, and it is his hands that we can see in Roman Polański’s film The Pianist.
Olejniczak was one of the first Polish pianists to play Chopin using historical instruments. At the concert at the Conservatory, he will play concerto no 2, Op 21 for piano and orchestra on a replica of a Pleyel grand piano from 1843.
Les Agrémens, an ensemble specialised in playing period instruments, will here be launching into the first flutters of the Romantic movement. This concert will give people the opportunity to listen to masterpieces from the music of the early XIXth century.
The concert will begin at 20:00.
