Piano In The Elms: Cyrill Ibrahim: A Journey Of Chopin's Heart
Chopin’s Heart is an intimate solo piano experience exploring the inner world of Frédéric Chopin - his exile, his loves, and the extraordinary journey of the physical heart he left behind. The programme centres on the Heroic Polonaise, a powerful expression of Chopin’s longing for Poland, and the monumental Third Sonata, one of his most personal and emotionally revealing works. These are interwoven with pieces by other composers that reflect themes of memory, identity, and belonging, creating a musical narrative that follows Chopin’s path across countries and across the fault lines of his own life.
