Our Campaign to Acquire a Steinway Model D Piano

Ever since our first concert in 1998, The Vancouver Chopin Society has presented to Vancouver audiences some of the greatest pianistic talents of our time. But any pianist, no matter how gifted, requires an instrument that would allow the artist to realize his or her artistic vision. After more than 25 years of presenting great performances of timeless music, we feel it is time for our society to acquire our own Steinway & Sons piano, so that the piano can be kept in its “home” at the Vancouver Playhouse, allowing us to have complete responsibility for the care and maintenance of the instrument.

By launching this bold new endeavour, we are making a significant investment not only on the future of our society, but on the future of great musical performances in our community and city.

To date we have already raised $175,000 in donations and pledges.

To help us reach our goal, you can give a donation toward our “88 Keys Campaign”, to help us purchase a single key ($3,888), two keys ($7,776), or more!

You can select your keys HERE or press button below to access our campaign page and make a pledge. Please remember that no payment is required at this point. We will contact you regarding the next steps once a pledge is made.

You can also give a donation by e-transfer to info@chopinsociety.org, or by cheque to #400 – 601 West Broadway Avenue, Vancouver, B.C., V5Z 4C2.

Please join us in making a commitment to the future of classical music in Vancouver.

“I believe that it is now time for the Society to have its own instrument in order to best showcase the talents of its wonderful pianists.”
