Chopin’s Brunch Concept
“Chopin’s Brunch” continues the great tradition of European salons presenting new artistic and intellectual ideas as well as being centers for social exchange. “Chopin’s Brunch” will take place in the salon-like setting of Chopin Theatre’s Lounge. The elegant buffet brunch will start around 930am. At some time during brunch, the conversation starts. This may be in the form of lecture, round table discussion, multi-media presentation, etc. Around noon the brunch concludes with a short presentation of Fryderk Chopin’s music.
