A movie night will be held at the Albany Polish Community Center on Friday, January 18th at 7:30 pm featuring Chopin: Desire for Love.

The movie night is sponsored by the Center’s Ladies’ Auxiliary. The Polish Community Center is located at 225 Washington Ave. Ext. Albany, NY 12205

Chopin: Desire for Love is in Polish with English subtitles

The drama chronicles the stormy affair between the great piano virtuoso Frederic Chopin and the flamboyant feminist writer Aurore Dupin, who called herself George Sand. Academy Award nominated Jerzy Antczak directs this sweeping portrayal of the famed composer and his intense but hurtful relationship with George Sand and her children. Chopin’s music, known and loved by millions worldwide, provides a powerful score that underlines the drama. The world recognized Yo-Yo Ma (cellist), Emmanuel Ax (pianist), Yukio Yokoyama (pianist), Janusz Olejniczak (pianist), Pamela Frank (violin), and Vadim Brodsky (violin) use their talents to brilliantly perform Chopin’s music.

Pizza and soda will be served. Donations of $2 for Ladies’ Auxiliary and PCC members, $5 for non-members. Children free!

A meeting of the Ladies’ Auxiliary will precede the event starting at 7 pm.
