Jan Lisiecki made his orchestral debut when he was nine and is already making a name for himself performing with orchestras on Canadian and international stages. At midnight January 1, Jan opened the Year of Chopin in Żelazowa Wola, Poland, the composer’s birthplace, marking the official beginning of the Chopin 200th birthday celebrations around the world.
In the summer of 1836, Chopin asked Maria Wodzinska to marry him. After one year of exchanging letters this relationship faded, mostly due to Chopin’s ambivalence.
