Comments on: “Chopin’s Europe” – A New Book http://www.chopinproject.com/2010/04/23/chopins-europe-poland/ The Piano Music of Fryderyk Chopin - from the Studio of Arthur Greene Sun, 22 Jan 2012 22:28:54 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Betty Carlson http://www.chopinproject.com/2010/04/23/chopins-europe-poland/comment-page-1/#comment-13061 Betty Carlson Sun, 06 Jun 2010 07:54:53 +0000 http://www.chopinproject.com/?p=1121#comment-13061 This is not really the right place for the below, but I have tried to submit it through the "Chopin Planet" tab and it doesn't seem to work. Please excuse me if it was submitted multiple times -- the page gave me no indication that the message had gone through. I wanted to mention to you the excellent initiative of the "Conservatoire de Musique de l'Aveyron," which just organized an event in Rodez, France, called "24 heures Chopin." In this rather small (30,000) town in the depths of rural France, over 40 concerts and other events celebrating Chopin were held in different cafés, auditoriums and other venues. A highlight was a free concert by French pianist Florence Pavie. Almost all of the other free events were performed or organized by local students and music teachers. Practically every concert was full or nearly-full. Here is the page with links to the PDF program: http://www.aveyron-culture.com/enma/index.php3 There has been little online press coverage, just this article for the moment, but more may come: http://www.midilibre.com/articles/2010/06/05/RODEZ-C-39-EST-PARTI-POUR-24-HEURES-AVEC-CHOPIN-1256492.php5 This is not really the right place for the below, but I have tried to submit it through the “Chopin Planet” tab and it doesn’t seem to work.
