One of the highlights of the concert on October 17 will be the only concerto for piano in A Minor, Op. 17 composed by Polish composer and pianist Ignacy Jan Paderewski.

Local audiences will be treated to works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Joseph Haydn, and Henryk Wieniawski on the second concert on October 21.
