Venue was beautiful, unsurprisingly every seat was full. Pianist was incredibly professional and it was obvious that he enjoys what he does. The standing ovation he received at the end was testament to the quality of his playing. A thoughtful selection of compositions which we thoroughly enjoyed. The complimentary wine was also lovely!

Nice little concert to see when in Krakow. I was held up by another tour, but they were really good about me arriving a little late. The pianist was very talented and it was a great pleasure to listen to him play for an hour.

Our experience was simply beautiful, venue was warm and inviting, and the artist was spectacular, worth going.

Nice comfy viewing area. Looked after well and enjoyable to watch.
