- **Event Description**: The event connects rising young artists with established performers while supporting talented students.About this EventThe Kosciuszko Foundation is pleased to host the Classical Piano Salon Inaugural Concert, a new artistic initiative created and led by Polish pianists Elżbieta Bilicka and Mateusz Mikołajczak.Inspired by the 19th-century salon tradition, the Classical Piano Salon offers intimate concerts that bring audiences closer to classical music in a welcoming atmosphere. The series connects rising young artists with established performers while supporting talented students—particularly those with disabilities and those facing financial barriers to artistic education. Performances are complemented by masterclasses and opportunities for artistic exchange.Program HighlightsThe April 8 program will open with a performance by Elsie Lu, an undergraduate student at The Juilliard School. Her recital will begin with Frédéric Chopin’s Ballade in F major and conclude with two Moments musicaux by Sergei Rachmaninoff.Following her performance, audiences will be invited behind the scenes of the pianist’s craft during a short demonstration masterclass led by the evening’s featured guest artist, Nicolas Namoradze—winner of the Honens International Piano Competition and faculty member at Juilliard and CUNY. Namoradze will work with thirteen-year-old Haowen Deng, a student of the Filomen M. D’Agostino Greenberg Music School for individuals with visual impairments.The evening will conclude with a solo recital by Nicolas Namoradze featuring Ludwig van Beethoven’s Sonata in F major, Op. 54 and the Grosse Fuge, Op. 133, presented in the artist’s own virtuosic arrangement.The project is organized by internationally active pianists and educators Elżbieta Bilicka and Mateusz Mikołajczak, prizewinners of numerous piano competitions. Bilicka is a graduate of music universities in Bydgoszcz, the Haute École de Musique in Geneva, and the Manhattan School of Music, and is currently completing doctoral studies at CUNY. Mikołajczak is a graduate of the Academy of Music in Wroclaw, the Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofía in Madrid, and the Juilliard School, where he is finalizing his Artist Diploma. Both artists are deeply committed to mentoring the next generation of musicians.The Kosciuszko Foundation is pleased to provide a welcoming space for this inspiring initiative and to support the vibrant exchange between artists and audiences that the Polish Classical Salon seeks to cultivate.ABOUT THE PERFORMERS:Passionate about connecting audiences to both timeless and new music, Elsie Lu has performed with orchestras including the Bellevue Symphony, Bruensis Virtuosi, Orchestra of MusicFest Perugia, and Philharmonia Northwest, appearing in venues from Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie to Van Cliburn Concert Hall, Queen Elizabeth Playhouse, Seattle Town Hall, and Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center.
