When you join the Chopin Foundation of the United States, you join a special group of music lovers dedicated to the career advancement of gifted young American artists through performance opportunity and financial support.

Members of the Chopin Foundation participate in career-building events including concerts, scholarships, lectures and master classes, and in helping organize the National Chopin Piano Competition of the United States, designed exclusively to support talented young U.S. pianists.

Winners of the National Chopin Competition are sent to the prestigious International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw, Poland, where many outstanding international careers have been launched. Our challenging mission can only succeed when music patrons contribute to the cause. Please support us by joining today!

We look forward to greeting you as member. Note: Our fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.

Membership of the Chopin Foundation of the United States is administered by the Foundation’s Regional Councils. The Regional Councils are branches of the Chopin Foundation of the United States and operate under the Foundation’s charter, By-Laws and IRS Tax exemption number. Their purpose is to carry out the Foundation’s objectives at the regional levels. The Councils are valuable components of the Foundation and help carry out its mission of supporting young pianists and contributing culturally to the communities they serve.

The San Francisco Council was organized in 1987. In 1995 the Council introduced the Chopin Competition for Young Pianists, which provides for young piano students an encouragement for following their artistic careers.
