Please note: There are no in-person tickets remaining for this event. This event will be free to view online via YouTube.

The 4th Annual Frost Chopin Festival celebrates its live return with an amazing lineup of two stellar pianists: 18-year-old J J Jun Li Bui, who won 6th prize at the XVIII International Chopin Competition in Warsaw last year, as well as the eminent Polish pianist Ewa Pobłocka, prize winner of the X International Chopin Competition. A specialist in the music of Chopin and J.S. Bach, Pobłocka recently recorded all of Bach's The Well-Tempered Clavier, and will open our festival performing some of his most magnificent keyboard works. The concert opens with J J Jun Li Bui’s renditions of works by Chopin, Debussy, and Stravinsky. Miami's beloved musicologist Dr. Frank Cooper joins us again this year to introduce the concert program.
