The Society’s focus is on the promotion of Chopin’s legacy.\nThis includes the organisation of – the International Chopin Competition for Amateur Pianists\, concert cycles in Warsaw’s Royal Łazienki Park\, in the church where Chopin was baptised in Brochów and in the Botanical Gardens in Powsin\,\nThese are some of a wide range of activities pursued by the Chopin Society and its six local branches in different parts of Poland.\nEwa obtained the title of doctor of humanities in 2017 on the basis of a dissertation entitled ‘Adolphe Gutmann in the circle of Fryderyk Chopin’s students and friends’.

He spent the winter of 1838-39 mostly at a quite comfortable three room cell ( no.4) with private garden in the former charterhouse of the Carthusians in the mountain village of Valldemossa. It’s difficult to put together a complete and final list of compositions that Chopin wrote while on Majorca\, since he started many of them before leaving for the island\, some he composed during his stay there\, and others he began there\, but finished them later.
