CHOPIN-GALA | YEAR-END CONCERT—Immerse yourself in history and experience the timeless beauty of Frédéric Chopin’s piano music at the Year-End Concert in the elegant setting of the Gasteig in Munich.
In this year-end concert, internationally acclaimed pianist Pietro Massa presents a richly varied selection of Chopin’s most beloved works—pieces that span the lyrical, the virtuosic, and the poetic.
From the introspective Nocturnes Op. 62 to the majestic Polonaise-Fantaisie Op. 61, the program invites listeners on an emotional journey through Chopin’s late and mature style. The Scherzo No. 4, the shimmering Berceuse, and the brilliant Andante Spianato et Grande Polonaise Brillante reveal the full range of Chopin’s expressive language, while the Valses Op. 64 and Ballade No. 3 add elegance and narrative depth to this festive musical evening.
Let this concert be your gateway into the new year—an encounter with one of music history’s most profound poetic voices.
