In 2010 we are celebrating the 200th anniversary of the birth of the most eminent Polish composer, Frederic Chopin. On this occasion one is encouraged to take a closer look at the composer. Warsaw reaches out to the lovers of Chopin's music as it has planned a series of concerts and accompanying events. Among other places, Chopin's music will be heard in the Łazienki Royal Park. We invite you to visit the estate in Żelazowa Wola, the birthplace of the future "piano poet". The former nobleman's manor houses a small museum. Further on, the route runs through Brochów, where Chopin's parents got married in a 16th century parish church, and where Frederic himself was christened. Next to the premises of the Warsaw University, the Church of the Holy Cross is situated, where the composer's heart rests.
