Poland 2017 at the Palace Zdunowa


by Tony Magee


My trip to Europe and the UK in 2017 included a week in Warsaw where I attend many wonderful concerts at the Filharmonia Naradowa Concert Hall and also The Church of the Holy Cross.

I caught up with the acclaimed Polish pianist Łukasz Krupiński, his mother Agnieszka, his grandfather Stefan (Szczepan in Polish) and his uncle.


Internationally acclaimed Polish pianist Lucas Krupinski

Łukasz’ uncle’s home is the beautiful Palace Zdunowa about sixty kilometres out of Warsaw in the countryside.

We savoured lunch there and walked the grounds.


Masha the German Shepherd accompanied us! He took an instant liking to me, much to everyone’s surprise. He is normally a shy dog.
