Krystian Zimerman will perform at the Royal Festival Hall on February 22, marking the 200th anniversary of Fryderyk Chopin's birth.

Zimerman is the 1975 winner of the International Fryderyk Chopin Piano Competition and ever since Chopin has been a vital part of his performing repertoire. On the night, Polish pianist will perform "Sonata No. 2 in B flat minor Op. 35" and "Sonata No. 3 in B minor Op. 58".

The recital is part of the International Piano Series Chopin 2009/2010 hosted by Southbank Centre in London, comprising seven concerts, a master class, and a debate featuring the greatest Chopin experts.

On March 1, another Chopin concert will mark a possible alternative date of Polish composer's birth. This time the Royal Festival Hall will host Maurizio Pollini performing a set of 24 Preludes, Op. 28, 12 Etudes, Op. 25, and a Ballade No.1 in G minor, Op.23.
