Paderewski's Centre in Tarnów – Kąśna Dolna
The Paderewski's Centre in Tarnów – Kąśna Dolna was established in 1990 on the foundations of the Music Society of Tarnów (Tarnowskie Towarzystwo Muzyczne). The Centre manages the only former estate of Ignacy Jan Paderewski preserved in the world – a manor and park complex in Kąśna Dolna near Ciężkowice. Currently, the Manor houses museum halls with expositions of memorabilia of the great composer, politician and cultural world citizen. The main objective of the Paderewski's Centre is popularisation of classical music, preserving the memory of the Great Pole – Ignacy Jan Paderewski (promoting his work, collecting memorabilia), cultural education of children and youth. The Paderewski's Centre organises classical music concerts – recitals, chamber concerts, symphonic music concerts, promotional concerts and educational concerts, as well as workshops for children and youth. Since 2015, the Director of the Centre has been Łukasz Gaj.
