Candlelight reflected in gilding and marble, in a 17th-century hall at the foot of Wawel. The programme mixes Chopin with Beethoven, Ravel, Debussy, Rachmaninov and Bacewicz. Seats are not assigned.
The candlelight concert with wine
An all-Chopin programme of mazurkas, ballades, waltzes and polonaises on a Yamaha grand piano, with a glass of wine or water. It runs daily all year.
What they share
Every concert lasts 50 minutes, offers free cancellation up to 24 hours before and lets you reserve now and pay later.
What differs
