Dear Friends, A concert for the 150th anniversary of the birth of Ignacy Jan Paderewski will be free on-line broadcasted at <http://paderewski150.pl/> on Saturday November 6, from 6.00 to 8.00 pm (GMT + 1). The concert, organized by the U.S. Embassy in Poland and the Piotr Janowski Foundation, in the Royal Castle of Warsaw, is to celebrate a pianist and composer, orator, patriot and statesman who became a legend during his lifetime, a "modern immortal" as President Franklin Delano Roosevelt described him. His heritage as artistic genius and devotion to human causes lives on, both in Poland and in the United States. The detailed program is at the same URL: <http://paderewski150.pl/>. This message is not off topic with genealogy: my great-granduncle Marcin Ratinski was the personal doctor of Paderewski and one of the performers, the well known pianist Karol Radziwonowicz, is a cousin of mine: our great-grandfathers were brothers... Ciao! Guido
