Chopin Recitals

A group of AUP Faculty have arranged for two Chopin piano recitals to be held in the Theatre of the American Church on the Wednesdays of April 3 and April 10. The Senior Pastor has very kindly offered the group the use of a Steinway concert grand. The concerts focus on Chopin, but will be extended to include any composers in the Romantic Era, from Liszt and Schumann to Berlioz and Wagner. 

The program for each recital will be decided on April 3.

The Theatre of the American Church in Paris, 65 Quai d’Orsay, Paris 7ème.
