Geneva Chopin Festival
2-16 October 2022
Our 25th Anniversary 1997-2022
«The Piano in the spotlight»
The complete works for solo piano
Geneva, an international city open to the world, welcomed a new musical association 25 years ago. In October 1997, the Société Frédéric Chopin was born and today it is an integral part of the musical and cultural life of the canton and of international Geneva.
Its Chopin Festival has become an essential autumnal piano event.
Commitment and passion are the words that animate the members of the committee and make the pride of the Society.
To celebrate this exceptional anniversary together, we propose the performance of the complete solo piano works of Fryderyk Chopin by some of the best pianists currently performing the music of the Polish composer.
Join us from 2 to 16 October 2022 to savour Chopin's romanticism!
