On June 27, Radosław Tyszkiewicz, President of the Foundation, met with Yusuke Nakano, Mayor of Hamamatsu in Shizuoka Prefecture. The discussions concerned possibilities for future cooperation between the Foundation and this Japanese city, particularly in the context of the Hamamatsu-Warsaw relationship and Chopin’s music.

Hamamatsu is a city where music plays a central role in culture, particularly thanks to companies such as Yamaha and Kawai.
