A musical dialogue on the life and works of Fryderyk Chopin 🗺
Alicja Fiderkiewicz, piano with Denis Lavin, narrator.
Alicja now lives in Northern England but she was born in Poland and so is an obvious choice for this event.
She studied in Warsaw, Moscow and Manchester. While in Moscow she played for Nikolayeva, Gilels and Richter! Alicja has been involved in Chopin dramas with other actors so we shall have to see what she makes of our version. Denis is a club member who has produced many plays of all types and has written the script specially for this event.

Polish Fashion Stories: Unexpected Encounter – Batik
The earliest known examples of Polish batiks appeared around 1903 at an exhibition in Kraków, when the artist Jan Bukowski presented furniture upholstered in textiles decorated with what was called then “a manner of Easter eggs” - it was before the term batik had even entered the Polish language. From this point, other Kraków artists began to further explore the technique and its possibilities.
