Chopin Society of Atlanta, Neighbor

The Chopin Society of Atlanta is a non-profit organization devoted to promoting Fryderyk Chopin’s music and advancing the understanding and appreciation of his legacy while engaging and inspiring youth from the Metro Atlanta area. The essence of our mission lies in enriching children’s education and fostering an appreciation for classical music, as we believe that music represents a universal language that reaches the depths of emotions, stirs imagination and helps our youth gain a better understanding and respect for each other. Our programs not only help the youth appreciate the beauty of classical music but help them develop self-esteem and become a positive influence on their peers, demonstrating that listening to and playing classical music can translate into life-lasting valuable and exciting experiences.

We accomplish our mission by:

organizing competitions about Chopin’s life

providing prizes for the participants of our popular after-concert essay contests

providing nearly 100 annual awards to local music festival and piano competition winners

inviting young artists to perform at our fundraising events

subsidizing concert tickets for music students

funding university-level master classes by visiting artists

funding scholarships for the Georgia State University students to participate in music courses in Paris, France, and Valldemossa, Majorca.
