    Will open at 6:30 and concert will begin at 7 PM. We will also have tables set up for a potluck if people want to hang out after and have drinks and a meal together.

    If you want to stay for the potluck, please bring something to share, a place setting (camping for fancy, whatever you prefer). We will have tables, tea (bring your own cup) and bring items for the potluck.

    The venue is a historic SF building originally built as a church and has been a center for Polish Community since 1926. The club’s mission is to serve as a center for the propagation of Polish culture, art, language, and community.

California parking on Mission between 19th and 20th and Mission Bartlett garage on 21st between Mission and Valencia. 24th St.,, Bart Station is also with a short walking distance. Folsom Street, Mission Street buses on nearby.

    What's the music?

    Rebecca Bogart

    Chopin is one of the best loved composers of classical piano music and for good reason. This program highlights his gentle, lyrical side. I love sharing his beautiful serene melodies with audiences.

    The 4th Scherzo brings the concert to an exciting close. This is one of Chopin's masterpieces. It is full of heartfelt melody, playfulness, dazzlingly brilliant runs and flashy octaves.

    Where does this music come from?

    Frederic Chopin is one of the preeminent composers for the piano in spite of his short life (1810-1849). His music is beautiful to listen to and satisfying to practice. It makes the piano sound fantastic. Almost no other composer wrote so many works that have found a permanent home in homes, concert stages, and Youtube shorts.
