Chopin event to showcase young talents

Even if you think you have listened to pretty much all the Chopin you can take in the 200th year of the Polish composer's birth, you don't want to miss November's Chopin Marathon at the Forbidden City Concert Hall.

More than 60 piano talents from China, Poland and Israel will give 10 concerts in the afternoons and evenings on four weekends, presenting all-Chopin works from nocturnes to mazurkas, polonaises and waltzes to concertos and even his early vocal pieces.

The performers comprise both young, promising pianists as well as established ones such as Poland's Ewa Poblocka and Karol Radziwonowicz; Israeli pianist Alon Goldstein and Chinese Huang Yameng, Tan Xiaotang and Wang Xiaohan.
