In March, the 14th Easter Ludwig van Beethoven Festival will be organized. Its motto this year reads: „Beethoven, Music and Piano Phenomenon. Chopin and Schumann Year”. From the 21st of March to the 3rd of April, several excellent pianists will perform all the symphonies by the festival patron as well as the great Romantic opera by Carl Maria von Webber entitled Euryanthe with a star-studded cast. Moreover, we will be able to see the project entitled Our Chopin Affair, combining classical music, jazz and fado, presented by Misia, a Portuguese fado master.
The National Philharmonic (Filharmonia Narodowa) celebrates the 200th anniversary of Frederic Chopin’s birth with a series of concerts written by the composer.

On the 16th of March – the Academy of Ancient Music will present the compositions by Antonio Vivaldi and G.B. Pergolesi (e.g. Stabat Mater by the two composers). On the 18th of March – Chopin’s piano concerto in F minor, Opus 22 and music by S. Prokofiev and M. Mussorgsky. On the 19th and on the 20th of March – a concert by the musicians of the National Philharmonic conducted by Jonathan Darlington presenting the works by J. Brahms, A. Dvorak and E. Bloch. On the 26th and on the 29th of March – concerts within the 14th Easter Ludwig van Beethoven Festival.

The National Museum (Muzeum Narodowe), from the 19th of March to the 16th of May, invites to the very interesting exhibition entitled Raphael’s Ceramics (Ceramika Rafaela).

From among the rich offer of March concerts and exhibitions it is worth naming the concert by Florence and the Machine in the Stodoła club (on the 6th of March). It is the first performance the musicians, who were the stars of the latest Glastonbury festival, will have in Poland.
