At the invitation of the Polish Institute, beginning October 2, 2025, KAN Kol HaMusica will broadcast a special series titled “The Chopin Festival” in honor of the 19th International Fryderyk Chopin Piano Competition, currently taking place in Warsaw.

Throughout the next two weeks, Kol HaMusica will dedicate special airtime to the music of Chopin in all its programs. From October 18–20, the final stage of the competition will be broadcast live from the National Philharmonic Hall in Warsaw, with commentary by the Kol HaMusica team on site.

In addition, all stages of the competition can be watched and listened to on the official YouTube channel of the Chopin Institute.

The Chopin Competition is one of the most prestigious and demanding events in the world of classical music. Held only once every five years, it attracts young pianists from around the globe who must master the virtuosic and emotional peaks of the legendary Polish composer’s works. Often called “the Olympics of pianists,” the competition has launched the careers of many past winners who went on to become international stars.
