It is worth pondering this festival’s name afresh, since it gives rise to some fundamental questions. What was Europe for Chopin? What was (and is) Chopin for Europe? Above all, however, what does European culture mean to us today (and within that culture, that which is most important: art and philosophy)? What does Europe with its culture mean to us? Well, it means… everything! Without Europe and its culture, we would simply not exist!
