One of the most extraordinary projects realized by the My Space Love Story Foundation was the "Chopin in Space" concert—an event that served as a symbolic finale to the international space sector conference.
The concert took place in the unique setting of the Museum of the Second World War in Gdańsk, where history, science, and culture merged into a single, unforgettable narrative. It was far more than a standard musical performance—it was an immersive experience that offered a perspective on Fryderyk Chopin's work larger than ever before: from the vastness of space.
Music That Flew into Space
The event featured a soundtrack composed of ten pieces by Fryderyk Chopin. These selections were far from random; their history began years earlier when a CD featuring these recordings was taken into outer space by Col. George D. Zamka, commander of NASA's STS-130 Endeavour mission. Chopin's music orbited hundreds of kilometers above Earth, accompanying the astronauts in their daily mission. This powerful symbolism became the heart of the "Chopin in Space" project.
World-Class Artists on One Stage
The stage featured world-renowned pianist Karol Radziwonowicz—an artist praised by American critics following his 2001 Carnegie Hall recital as "a pianist carrying the torch of Chopin and Paderewski." He was accompanied by the Sinfonia Viva Orchestra under the baton of Tomasz Radziwonowicz, composed of top graduates from the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music in Warsaw. Their collaborative performance created an atmosphere filled with emotion, energy, and wonder for both our Earthly realm and the cosmos we continue to explore.
