The 2023 Paderewski Festival in Paso Robles is pleased to announce this year's lineup of concerts. For the first time since 2019, Thursday night concerts are back on the Festival schedule. Spotlighting leading California-based artists, the Thursday, November 2 opening concert will feature Tina Raymond Trio in an all-favorites jazz concert at LIBRETTO, located at  1242 Park Street in downtown Paso Robles.

The Friday, November 3 concert brings back to Paso Robles the Cracow Duo, a cello and piano ensemble of Jan Kalinowski and Marek Szlezer, who are fondly remembered by Paso audiences from their previous Central Coast appearances. Their concert—like all others during this year’s Festival—will take place at the Park Ballroom, 1232 Park Street, Paso Robles.

Concerts on Saturday, November 4, start with an afternoon recital by winners of this year’s Youth Piano Competition, which will be held on October 15. The evening Gala Concert will feature Polish-born pianist Mateusz Krzyżowski, winner of the 2022 Paderewski International Piano Competition, who will present a solo program of works by Ignacy Jan Paderewski, Karol Szymanowski and Frederic Chopin.

The 2023 Paderewski Festival will close on Sunday, November 5, with a matinee program presented exclusively for the Friends of Paderewski and Paderewski Patrons. It will feature the USC Brass Ensemble and take place at Epoch Estate Wines, a Westside winery with historic links to Paderewski.
