Sounds and Notes

With full hearts and endless gratitude — thank you to our incredible sponsors. ❤️

As we close the chapter on the 10th anniversary of the Chopin in the City Festival, we are filled with appreciation. This festival would not have reached this milestone without your generous and devoted support over the years.

Your support reinforces our mission of sharing the beauty of Chopin’s music across genres and art forms, bringing his timeless work to life for contemporary audiences in fresh, meaningful ways. Because of you, this vision continues to thrive.

You have helped build more than a festival — you have helped build a community. A community that believes in the universal language of music and its power to connect us, inspire us, and move us beyond boundaries.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in this vision, for standing with us throughout the years, and for helping us reach this incredible 10-year milestone.

Here’s to you — and to many more years of music, collaboration, and community. 🎶✨
