If you’ve been moved by our mission and programs or inspired by the timeless artistry of Chopin, we invite you to support our work with a charitable gift. Every contribution helps us continue sharing Chopin’s music and nurturing the next generation of great American pianists, as we have for the past 50 years and will continue beyond into the future.
