Chopin lovers can't meet their hero, but this pianist got to do the next best thing
Pianist Eric Guo did everything but travel through time to commune with Chopin.
On March 1, the day celebrated as Frederic Chopin's birthday, the 21-year-old Canadian played one concert at the birthplace of the Romantic-era piano virtuoso and composer, on a piano built during his lifetime. Then he went into town for a second performance, during which he used a piano that once belonged to Chopin.
“You cannot get more connected to Chopin than being in his birth place,” said Guo.
