This initiative is part of the 5th edition of the Infante D. Henrique Music Festival and Competition.

Pianist Rem Urasin presents a recital dedicated to the works of Frédéric Chopin, one of the central figures of Romanticism and a composer who significantly contributed to the development of piano writing in the 19th century. Rem Urasin was awarded first prize at the International Chopin Competition for Young Pianists held in Moscow in 1992 and won fourth prize at the XIII International Frédéric Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw in 1995. His discography includes various recordings dedicated to Chopin's repertoire, internationally released. Notably, the double album Chopin: Complete Mazurkas, released in 2015 by Brilliant Classics, includes all of the Polish composer's mazurkas. In this recital, the pianist offers an interpretation of Chopin's works, exploring the formal and stylistic diversity of his piano output, with particular attention to melodic expressiveness, harmonic richness, and the technical and interpretative demands that characterise this repertoire.
