2nd International Chopin Competition on Period Instruments 

Warsaw, 5–15 October 2023 

 The aim of the International Chopin Competition on Period Instruments is to promote the idea of playing Chopin’s music on pianos from his time. On the one hand it encourages pianists specialising in historically informed performance to add the works of Fryderyk Chopin to their repertoire, on the other it gives young Chopin specialists a chance to enter the world of historical instruments. 

The first edition of the Competition took place in September 2018 at Warsaw Philharmonic and was an important part of the celebrations of the 100th anniversary of Poland’s regaining of independence. The laureates were Tomasz Ritter (1st prize), Aleksandra Świgut (2nd prize ex aequo), Naruhiko Kawaguchi (2nd price ex aequo) and Krzysztof Książek (3rd prize). The Competition will be held for the second time from 5 to 15 October 2023, again at the Warsaw Philharmonic. As with the first edition of the Competition, the first and the second round are solo recitals of selected pieces by Chopin, Bach and Mozart, and polonaises by Polish composers active in the first half of the 19th century. In the third stage, the six finalists will perform their choice of Chopin’s works with orchestra. 

They will be accompanied by Martyna Pastuszka’s {oh!} Orkiestra, conducted by Václav Luks. The pianists will be assessed by an international jury composed of eminent musicians specialising in historically informed performance, notably Andreas Staier, Olga Pashchenko and Tobias Koch, as well as leading Chopin experts, among others Janusz Olejniczak, Ewa Pobłocka. The competing pianists will have at their disposal historical instruments from the Chopin Institute’s collection (Erards from 1838, 1849, and 1855, Pleyels from 1848 and 1854, and a Broadwood from 1843), replicas of period instruments and instruments kindly loaned by European collections.
