Institut Frédéric Chopin

Institut Frédéric Chopin International Society for the Promotion and Research of Piano Music

Je crois que les artistes se doivent de vivre et de travailler en poursuivant inlassablement un idéal de beauté, en recherchant l'Art porté à son plus haut degré de perfection. Mon espoir est d'inciter mes élèves – amateurs comme professionnels, débutants ou artistes en devenir, à pouvoir se concentrer intensément sur chaque facette de la musique, au besoin pendant des heures, dans leur «quête de

l'oiseau de feu». Cette façon de découvrir ensemble l'expression et la personnalité artistique de chacun est, je crois, l'héritage de la grande tradition de l'école pianistique slave que m'ont transmis mes professeurs. Je souhaite faire partager ce voyage vers l'Art à travers ma pratique pédagogique en créant l'Institut F.Chopin en Suisse.

🎹 Un concert à ne pas manquer à Bienne !
https://youtu.be/V9ojLWjtW-Y?is=6_EEHJnAKKSBbmEn
Le 8 septembre, nous aurons le plaisir d’accueillir Antonio Pavan, l’un des lauréats 2025 du Concours Jeune Chopin, que nous avons déjà eu la chance d’accompagner et d’encadrer dans le cadre de l’Agence des concerts professionnels Weigold&Böhm https://www.weigold-boehm.de/en/artists/antonio-pavan
À seulement 13 ans, Antonio impressionne par sa remarquable maturité musicale, tant comme pianiste que comme compositeur. Il nous offrira un récital et partagera également la scène avec une violoniste à l’occasion d’un magnifique duo.

✨ Une soirée placée sous le signe de la jeunesse, du talent et de la passion musicale.

À cette occasion, Magdalena Hirsz, directrice du Concours Jeune Chopin, présentera brièvement ce prestigieux concours, dont la 5ᵉ édition se tiendra du 2 au 5 avril 2027.

🎶 Venez découvrir un jeune artiste exceptionnel et partager avec nous une soirée musicale pleine de promesses !

Celebrating Beethoven first with the complete Bagatelles, beautifully performed by Markus Groh, and the following day with his Second Piano Concerto, magnificently interpreted by Martha Argerich and Lahav Shani conducting the Munich Philharmonic.
Does the music Beethoven left us still give us the joy and strength to carry on with our lives, even when they are difficult? In the hands of today’s artists, can his music still bring us peace and a sense of hope in our troubled world?
Perhaps this is one of the greatest gifts of music: to remind us, even in the darkest moments, of the beauty of being alive.

Life can sometimes be unpredictable, and unfortunately, we have had to face a difficult situation: our laureate, Ivan Chepkin, will ultimately be unable to travel to Switzerland to perform.
Nevertheless, the F. Chopin Institute is very proud to announce that this exceptional concert will go ahead, thanks to the presence of internationally renowned pianist Markus Groh, First Prize winner of the prestigious Queen Elisabeth Competition, who has graciously accepted, at the very last minute, to take on this extraordinary challenge and perform this Sunday.
This is a wonderful opportunity not to be missed: the complete set of Beethoven’s Bagatelles, performed on Brigitte Meyer’s magnificent Bösendorfer piano.

We look forward to welcoming you in large numbers for this exceptional musical event!

Daphné Delicata was among the very first laureates of the inaugural Jeune Chopin Competition in 2018. Then, she was a gifted child whose artistry already hinted at a remarkable future.
Today, she is studying Music at the University of Cambridge, where her curiosity extends beyond the piano to the enchanting world of ancient instruments and the beauty of poetry. Her artistic path continues to blossom with grace, sensitivity, and intellect.
The child we first welcomed has become a remarkable young lady. The Chopin Institute follows her journey with pride and affection, wishing her every success as she continues to share her musical voice with the world.

In exactly one month, Ivan Chepkin will perform in Bex following his residency in Nohant, France, at the historic home of George Sand, where Frédéric Chopin composed some of his greatest masterpieces.
His remarkable musical intelligence and exceptional sensitivity were recognized by Martha Argerich, who served on the jury of the competition in which he distinguished himself.
Don't miss this extraordinary concert—an evening filled with emotion, inspiration, and unforgettable music.

Ivan Chepkin captivated the Swiss audience and will return in August to present a new recital. Details of this event will be announced soon.
This young pianist, remarkably at ease with Chopin’s repertoire, is also a devoted admirer of Sergei Rachmaninoff, a composer with whom he shares his roots.
