Kraków Philharmonic: February

In February 2012 a lot of piano music again: Nikolay Khozyainov (the youngest finalist of the 16th Chopin Competition, awarded with distinction), Krzysztof Jabłoński, Piotr Różański, or even a piano duo! For a change: cello of Marcin Zdunik and an evening of early music.
