Lunch Concert at Backa Church – Chopin Etudes Op. 25

On February 3, 2026 at 12:00, a lunch concert took place at Backa Church featuring pianist Volodymyr Slakva.

The program consisted of Frédéric Chopin’s complete Etudes Op. 25 — one of the most demanding yet poetic works in the piano repertoire. The etudes combine high technical complexity with deep musical expression and place great demands on both the pianist’s technique and musicality.

Lunch concerts in churches create a special closeness between music and audience, and the acoustics of Backa Church provided a focused and attentive atmosphere for this complete interpretation of Chopin’s work.

The concert had free admission and attracted an engaged audience who experienced a full opus performed as a unified whole — something that is rarely presented in its entirety within a single concert.
