Chopin’s Heart

Chopin’s Heart

A public lecture from Dr Steven Lagerberg, retired physician, author, and passionate Chopin enthusiast, held at the Australian National University School of Music. Dr Lagerberg presented on his ten year quest to research the cause of Chopin’s death and to lobby the Polish government at the highest levels to exhume Chopin’s heart from its final resting place to examine it sufficiently to produce a definitive diagnosis. Dr Lagerberg’s talk was accompanied with interludes of the music of Chopin, played by young Melbourne-based Polish-Australian pianist Konrad Olszewski.
