XXVI International Chopin & Friends Festival in New York. November 8th-November 26th, 2024

The Fall of 2024 marks the 26th International Chopin & Friends Festival in New York. This diverse arts festival celebrates the global artistic legacy of Chopin by showcasing innovative artists who, like him, blend the traditional with the modern and the national with the universal. New York Dance & Arts Innovations, Inc. (NYDAI), a New York-based cultural not-for-profit organization, is responsible for producing this renowned celebration of the arts, which will take place throughout November.

2024 marks Chopin’s 175th death anniversary, and three special events are currently being held to honor the most emblematic and prolific Polish composer.

The opening concert will occur at the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland on November 8th, 2024. It will showcase part of Chopin’s piano solo music and chamber works, Polish songs, and jazz arrangements of Chopin’s most famous masterpieces.

The second concert will take the audience on a journey to modern times. It will genuinely celebrate the instrument known as the king of all: the piano. The unique repertoire selected for the event will bring not just one but two pianists on stage at the Klavierhaus Concert Hall on November 20th!
