  • Chopin Day in Rapperswil Organised by the Arthur Rubinstein International Music Foundation, Lodz in Cooperation with the Polish Museum in Rapperswil
    Chopin Day in Rapperswil Organised by the Arthur Rubinstein International Music Foundation, Lodz in cooperation with the Polish Museum in Rapperswil “Chopin Day in Rapperswil” will take place in Rapperswil’s medieval castle, which for almost 140 years has housed the Polish Museum. The event, a cultural collaboration between the Rubinstein Foundation and the Polish Museum, marks the 160th anniversa- ry of the death of Frederic Chopin (Paris, 17/10/1849) and the coming 140th anniversary of the founding of the first polish museum – the Polish National Museum in Rapperswill (23/10/1870). We would like raise the profile of Poland’s rich culture in Europe, and we are going to stage the Year of Chopin 2010, which will celebrate the 200th anniversary of Chopin’s birth (Żelazowa Wola, 01/03/1810). We will also celebrate the greatest Polish ‘Chopinist’ (interpreter of Chopin’s works) of the 20th century, Arthur Rubinstein, who was born in Lodz in 1887 and died in Switzerland in 1982, and whose portrait can be seen in the Polish Museum’s Gallery of Distinguished Poles. A week before (17th October 2009) – on the 160th anniversary of Chopin’s death – the foundation is organising “Chopin Day in Lodz”, consisting of a mass, concert and exhibition held in Lodz Cathedral. Please contact the organisers to reserve places and to receive invitations for the events. In inviting everybody to the celebrations and events, we urge those willing to help out finan- cially or with expertise to contact the Rubinstein Foundation.
