Polish Olympic Day

The Polish Olympic Committee traditionally has foreseen its „Polish Day” Tokyo 2020 to be performed in one of the best Japan concerts venues – the Suntory Hall. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic diseases and the safety of our Guests, it has to be canceled.

Therefore, together with our great Partners – the Polish Tourism Organisations led by Mr. Rafal Szlachta and the Ludwig van Beethoven Association led by Mme Elżbieta Penderecka, we have decided to register a very special chamber concert to commemorate Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games and share the passion for sport and culture, the main pillars of Olympism.

It is our greatest pleasure to invite all of you to online viewing of the very special performance by Polish philharmonics of the National Warsaw Philharmonic and under the auspices of the Ludwig van Beethoven Association from 22 July 2021 at the NOC of Poland youtube channel https://youtu.be/RnzWRZqUF_M
