Ignacy Jan Paderewski - Musician and Statesman
Description:
Ignacy Jan Paderewski (1860–1941), a virtuoso pianist, composer, statesman (the first Prime Minister of independent
Poland after World War I), humanitarian and orator, acclaimed as a 'Modern Immortal' by his contemporaries,
gave seven performances in Rochester. Rochester was the last American city to host his public performance.
He received a state burial at Arlington National Cemetery. In 1992, Paderewski's body was returned
to Poland and was buried in the Royal Crypt of the Warsaw Cathedral in a ceremony attended by the
presidents of Poland and the United States. A special program to celebrate the 150th birth anniversary of
Ignacy Jan Paderewski will include Paderewski's compositions played by Igor Lipinski, Eastman School of Music,
readings of Paderewski's letters and press reviews about him, and excerpts of films. The event is
co-sponsored by the Skalny Center of Polish and Central European Studies, University of Rochester, the
Polish Heritage Society of Rochester, and Nazareth College.
