Music on Screen Chopin’s grave in Paris remains a place of
pilgrimage and his music continues to sell out concert halls worldwide
– but who exactly was this man who was terrified of public
performance, who fled his Polish homeland for Paris never to return,
took up with the most notorious transvestite in France, rarely gave
public performances and, despite a life of ill-health, wrote some of
the deepest and most powerful music ever written? How exactly did a
young Polish boy rise to such heady heights? For four years,
award-winning Phil Grabsky travelled the globe in his quest to lay
bare the life and music of Chopin. Some of the world’s best
musicians provide the music, including Leif Ove Andsnes, Daniel
Barenboim, Ronald Brautigam and the Orchestra of the 18th Century.
Funny, heart-breaking, inspirational – this film has been called the
first to really illustrate the true nature of this remarkable and
still widely-loved composer. Paul Grabsky’s In Search of… films
are internationally renowned, winning prestigious awards and achieving
world firsts - re-introducing the world to beloved composers. Private
group screenings available! (Minimum 75 attendees) Contact [email
