About us

The Chopin Society (London) was founded in 1971 by Lucie Swiatek to celebrate the genius of Fryderyk Chopin and increase the knowledge and appreciation of his music.

We present distinguished international artists and outstanding young performers in monthly recitals, which always include works by Chopin and often those of other composers. We also offer occasional lecture-recitals by leading Chopin experts.

Several times a year members of the Society play for each other and their friends at Members' Matinees. This has added a new dimension to our activities.

Find out more about the Society's history and its recent activities or, if you are interested in Chopin, contact us for any information you need.
