Welcome to the Frederic Chopin Society’s website!

The Frederic Chopin Society is an international piano recital series serving the greater metropolitan area of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, Minnesota. Established in 1984, this volunteer-run organization presents world-class artists, from exciting emerging talents and mid-career masters to some of the most distinguished names in music. Concerts are held in the beautiful and intimate Mairs Concert Hall at Macalester College in Saint Paul. Although programs often include works by Chopin, the Society enjoys a wide range of keyboard music from over three centuries.

As we celebrate our 40th season in 2023-24, the Chopin Society continues its mission of bringing the highest level of piano performance to the greater Twin Cities community. Highlighting this milestone season are four of the most memorable artists from past seasons, plus another making what promises to be a stunning debut on our series. Their programs encompass music from Bach and Rameau to Thomas Adès—and Chopin too, of course. 

Unforgettable, elevated music-making awaits us in this blockbuster 40th season, and we invite you to be part of it!

— Mary Sigmond, President
—Tadeusz Majewski, Artistic Director
