THE
FREDERIC CHOPIN SOCIETY
Established in 1984, the Frederic Chopin Society is dedicated to bringing the power and beauty of classical piano to the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota.
The Chopin Society presents an annual series of five concerts open to the general
public. Although our name honors Frederic Chopin, the universally regarded "poet
of the piano," the Society's programs include the works of many
composers and more than three centuries of repertoire.
Events are held at the Janet Wallace Fine Arts Center in St. Paul in
a concert hall that fosters an intimate connection between artist and
audience. We look for highly individual and engaging artists, those who
go beyond mere technical mastery to say something compelling with their
art, whether they be the cream of emerging talents or well-established
figures in the music world.

We have a spectacular 25th season planned and look forward to celebrating it with you!
Not only do we have a stunning line-up of world-class artists for our 25th season, but to help keep the piano repertoire alive with new music, the Society has commissioned an 8-minute piece for solo piano by American Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Aaron Jay Kernis. This 21st Century work will be given its world premiere on the season's final concert in May by pianist Mihaela Ursuleasa.
Our success depends on your continued patronage and financial support. Please consider becoming a member of the Society or making a regular tax-deductible donation. All gifts are put to good use and greatly appreciated!
