The Festival’s founder and artistic director, Dr. Lucy Scarbrough, was inspired to establish the Festival because of the great influence that Chopin’s music has around the world. “Frederic Chopin was one of the great world ambassadors.” Dr. Scarbrough has said. “His music is truly a universal language of beauty that knows no barriers of nation or culture.” Chopin is the master of the piano. He is credited with originating the modern piano style, and that style is Chopin’s own, readily recognizable and distinctive style. The music of this fine romantic composer is featured in the Festival to provide an opportunity for residents and visitors to the tri-city region to hear the piano played with unsurpassed elegance, power, and expression.
