WARSAW, Oct. 24 (Xinhua) -- A chamber piano concert celebrating the cultural ties between China and Poland was held Friday night in Warsaw, paying tribute to Poland's greatest composer and pianist, Fryderyk Chopin.
The event was jointly organized by the Fryderyk Chopin Institute and the Chinese Embassy in Poland, and was attended by around 100 guests from across the country.
Two Chinese finalists of the 19th International Chopin Piano Competition, Wang Zitong, who won third place, and 16-year-old Lyu Tianyao, who took fourth, performed a selection of well-prepared pieces at the concert.
Other performers included Chinese pianist Wu Yifan and Polish pianists Zuzanna Sejbuk and Adam Kaldunski, all participants in the competition.
The 19th International Chopin Piano Competition concluded on Thursday in Warsaw. First held in 1927, the competition has been organized every five years since 1955 and is widely regarded as the "Olympics of the piano." ■
