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.
Now in its 41st season, the Chopin Society continues to present the highest level of piano performance. Four of the artists have thrilled us in past seasons, while another will be making her highly anticipated Minnesota debut. A generous helping of Chopin is in the offing, as well as music from the Renaissance era, a number of cherished masterpieces from the 18th-20th Centuries, and even a recent contemporary work. Unforgettable, elevated music-making awaits us, and we invite you to join us!
— Mary Sigmond, President
