Polish Institute New Delhi team hosted painting workshop for children at the Swami Sivananda Memorial Institute of Fine Arts & Crafts which was held on 19th March 2024 to highlight and promote Chopin’s music in India. During the workshop, a group of 40 students participated in the creative session, where they listened to the compositions of the great Polish pianist and composer Frederic Chopin and then paint their ideas on the canvas using their imagination. Children listened to the music from the Polish Institute project titled “Desi” which is an interpretation of Chopin’s masterpieces by leading Indian musicians. Chopin compositions inspired musicians to perform music on traditional Indian musical instruments. At the end we screened an animated film “Impro Frederic. Chopin in a whole new light” which is based on the life of Frederic Chopin to allow the students learn more about the great artist followed by a quick discussion, some gifts and refreshments. Thank you PMW Edition for letting us use your film.
