The Chopin Project Film Release

The cinematic version of "CHOPIN: A Letter through the Parisian Years" was officially released on May 15, 2018 at Hôtel Chopin Grands-Boulevards in Paris, France.  Thank you everyone, who spent the evening with us! We had a blast and it was an amazing soirée: a very happy day for all of us to get back together, remember our productive time in Paris two years ago, and finalize our work on the Chopin Project with the release of its cinematic version, which is now available at our YouTube Channel (watch above), along with the Bonus Features (watch below)!

It has been a beautiful and persevering three and a half years, from the brainstorming of ideas for the Project till the release of the Film. The photos from the Release Event are available below. We are grateful to all the organizations, friends, and supporters who has helped us along the way. The project is now officially closed.

Yours,
Elina Akselrud

New Project Announcement!

Dear Friends,

The Intertwining Arts team is excited to announce our new interdisciplinary project "SCRIABIN SONATAS Reimagined, Part I"!  The project is a blend of live piano performance of the first five Piano Sonatas by Alexander Scriabin (1872-1915) and a simultaneous projection of artistic video collages, with the Planet Earth and humanity's impact on it as the main subject matter, created by Elina Akselrud (piano) and Arletta Elst (artistic videocollages / projection). It will be performed in four Swiss cities on June 1, 8, 15, and 26, 2018!

Have a wonderful spring and we are looking forward to seeing you at our events!

Chopin: A Letter through the Parisian Years

Dear Friends,

My warmest greetings with the New Year of 2016! May life bring only joy, inspiration, and prosperity to you and your families!

I would like to make a big announcement about the World Premiere of a very special project, which I am currently working on with the wonderful actor Nathanaël Bez. (http://nathanaelbez.com/) 

This is a research/performance piece about the Paris years of Frédéric Chopin.  This unique event combines at least three art genres: the solo piano performance of Chopin’s music, theatrical readings of his letters and poems by Polish poets of his time, and photographs or short video clips of his Parisian life including his pianos, manuscripts, personal belongings, portraits, routes, and more.  However, your help is very much needed for bringing this performance to life!  Please check out the link to our Crowdfunding Campaign!
