Chopin Institute🎂 Today Maestra Lidia Grychtołówna celebrates her 98th birthday! We wish her health and constant joy from making music! Lidia Grychtołówna is a pianist and a pedagogue. She won 7th prize at the Fryderyk Chopin Competition in Warsaw. Between 1980 and 2005, she was a jury member, and last year, during the Competition’s 19th edition, she was invited to be a Honorary Juror.
