Ocean Music Foundation kicks off its 2024-25 season with a festival commemorating the 175th anniversary of Frédéric Chopin's death, running from October 3-6, 2024. Though Chopin passed away on October 17, 1849, his music continues to captivate audiences with its beauty and emotional depth.
The festival will feature the complete works published during Chopin’s lifetime in ten public concerts at St. Ann & the Holy Trinity Church in Brooklyn, NY. Alongside the performances, the inaugural Ocean Music International Piano Competition and educational events, including masterclasses and panel discussions, will be held at OPERA America and the DiMenna Center for Classical Music in New York City.
The event will showcase acclaimed pianists and educators such as Jerome Lowenthal, Yoheved Kaplinsky, Yong Hi Moon, Melvin Chen, Yi-Yang Chen, Fei-Fei Dong, Albert Cano Smit, Jiayan Sun, and many others, celebrating Chopin's enduring legacy.
Montague Open Streets is presented by the Montague Street BID in partnership with the Brooklyn Heights Association and the NYC Department of Transportation.
