A Night of Sublime Passion: A Chopin Concert with Elen Rapoport

Join us for a special performance on Friday, October 17, 2025 at the Polish Club, as we commemorate the 176th anniversary of Frédéric Chopin's passing. On this day, musicians around the world pay tribute to the composer's enduring genius. Experience the romantic soul of Chopin as a true virtuoso takes the stage in Sydney.

Acclaimed Russian-born pianist Elen Rapoport, a graduate of the prestigious Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory, brings her extraordinary artistry to an intimate recital celebrating the genius of Frédéric Chopin.

Known for a playing style "that almost burned up the keyboard," Elen Rapoport's performances are a unique blend of passion and charisma. Her extraordinary bravura playing has perfect technical control, clarity, and remarkably vivid light, creating a sound that is both powerful and deeply nuanced.

Having graced prestigious venues such as the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, Elen is a celebrated figure in the Australian and international classical music scenes. Her deep understanding of the Romantic repertoire shines through in her interpretations of Chopin. In her hands, his lyrical melodies sing with heartfelt emotion, and his complex sonatas reveal a new world of light and shade.

Join us for an evening of iconic works—from the tender intimacy of a Nocturne to the breathtaking power of a Ballade. This is a rare opportunity to witness a master pianist's profound connection with Chopin’s timeless compositions.

• Scherzo No. 2 in B-flat minor, Op. 31
• Romance (Larghetto) from Piano Concerto No. 1 in E minor, Op. 11
