Previous Seasons
Pianists who have played for the Chopin Society since 1984
The Chopin Society was incorporated as a nonprofit organization in 1984 and held a five-day, all-Chopin Festival in May of that year. Additional Chopin Festivals and occasional solo recitals were held during the following two years. Since 1986, the Society has presented a traditional fall-to-spring concert season and expanded programming to include the music of many composers besides Chopin.
