Pianists who have played for the Chopin Society since 1984

The Chopin Society was incorporated as a nonprofit organization in 1984 and held a week-long Chopin Festival in the spring of that year. Additional Chopin Festivals and occasional solo recitals were held during the following two years. In the fall of 1986, the Society began presenting concerts throughout the traditional fall-to-spring season and widened its programming focus to include the music of many other composers. For its twenty-fifth season, the Society commissioned a piece from Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Aaron Jay Kernis which was given its world premiere by pianist Mihaela Ursuleasa in May, 2008.
