On 18 September 2025, an event dedicated to Fryderyk Chopin and his connections with George Sand’s house in Nohant – a place that played a key role in the composer’s personal life and work – was held at the Polish Academy of Sciences Scientific Center in Paris.
The event was initiated by the Association des Medecins d’Origine Polonaise de France (AMOPF) in cooperation with our Scientific Center.
The lecture was given by Urszula Król – heritage conservator and curator at the Fryderyk Chopin Museum in Warsaw, a specialist in 19th-century art and the relationship between music, poetry and painting.
The speaker introduced the audience to the atmosphere of Nohant – a place that became a substitute for Chopin’s family home, full of care, peace and inspiration. Viewing works of art and memorabilia related to the composer, participants had the opportunity to discover lesser-known aspects of his life and work connected with this unique place.
The lecture was followed by a piano recital by Cyprian Czaban, a young pianist from Warsaw who lives and studies in Paris. The artist presented works by Fryderyk Chopin, including Ballade in G minor, Op. 23, Barcarolle in F sharp major, Op. 60, and selected Preludes from Op. 28. His interpretations, full of subtlety and emotion, perfectly matched the atmosphere of the evening dedicated to Chopin’s romantic heritage.
The event attracted considerable interest and was a unique opportunity to learn more about the composer’s life and listen to his music performed by a young, talented artist. Thanks to Urszula Król and Cyprian Czaban for an unforgettable evening!
