March 8, 2019 - Polish-French-Danish evening at the Thorvaldsen Museum in Copenhagen
Karen Benedicte Busk-Jepsen (Thorvaldsen Museum), art historian, presented in her text the rich correspondence between the two artists, which was 'embellished' with Maria Szymanowska’s songs and piano pieces performed by the pianist Małgorzata Kluźniak-Celińska and the opera singer Elisabeth Zapolska.
The sculpture - from the National Museum of Krakow - was placed facing the giant model of the Copernicus monument. Such a symbol!

The date of March 8, 2019 will have made it possible to celebrate, as part of the Maria Szymanowska Year, which begins, the anniversary of the "Roman birth" of Thorvaldsen, marked by the opening in the Eternal City of his workshop, which coincides today with International Women's Day, while associating the centenary of diplomatic relations between Poland and Denmark.
