About Krzysztof Moskalewicz
Krzysztof Moskalewicz is a Polish pianist celebrated for his exceptional sensitivity and interpretations marked by naturalness and profound expression.
Equally passionate about solo and collaborative performance, Krzysztof has performed as a soloist and chamber musician at many prestigious venues including Barbican Hall, Wigmore Hall, Birmingham Town Hall, Palacio de Festivales de Santander, and the Witold Lutosławski Polish Radio Concert Studio in Warsaw, alongside many other venues across Europe, Japan, and the United States.

His debut album released in 2022 features all of Chopin’s Ballades alongside new compositions titled ‘Four Postcards’ by the Chinese composer Sun Keting.

In 2011, he graduated with honors from the Fryderyk Chopin State Music School in Warsaw, where he studied with Joanna Kurpiowska.

About Westminster Cathedral Hall
Described on completion as one of the finest meeting rooms in London, this Edwardian hall was designed by Westminster Cathedral architect John Francis Bentley and represents some of his finest work. It has recently been extensively modernised and restored to its original splendour.
The entrance to the Hall is in Ambrosden Avenue, which runs between Victoria Street and Francis Street.
Getting there
By train or underground: Victoria (mainline and underground) and St James’s Park (underground) are both less than 5 minutes walk.
By bus: Nos 11, 24, 211 and 507 buses stop immediately in front of the Cathedral piazza on Victoria Street.
By car: Not recommended due to the new ULEZ charge and the Congestion charge which now operates on Sundays. However to avoid both of these, you can park on the far side of Vauxhall Bridge Road and walk to the Hall down Francis Street, turning left into Ambrosden Avenue (about 5 minutes).
General Information
The Chopin Society UK reserves the right to change artists or programmes due to circumstances beyond their control.
Reception after the concert
After each recital we hold a buffet reception, with a glass of wine or tea or coffee. The artists attend this reception and it’s a great opportunity to meet the performers, talk to other members of the audience and make new friends.
Venues
London is unique in having some of the venues in which Chopin played still available and suitable for recitals – several much as they were when Chopin played in them. See photographs and descriptions of our attractive concert venues.
