President Karol Nawrocki, accompanied by the First Lady, hosted the laureates and finalists of the 19th Fryderyk Chopin International Piano Competition at the Presidential Palace.

- Thank you for giving my countrymen so much contemplation, pride, and joy over the past three weeks by interpreting Fryderyk Chopin, playing your Chopin, and making Poles feel proud. [...] Long live Fryderyk Chopin. May Fryderyk Chopin continue to bring fame to my homeland, but may he also transcend borders through the ambassadors of Fryderyk Chopin that you are - said President Karol Nawrocki.

Subsequently, the Presidential Couple presented commemorative gifts to the competition participants and listened to a concert by the winner, Eric Lu.
