The Chopin Society celebrates Sherwood's piano tradition by sponsoring Piano Fest and underwriting the purchase, care and maintenance of our keyboard instruments. Contributions of any size many be designated to the Chopin Society. Membership entitles you to the regular donor benefits plus special items of interest to piano lovers. For a contribution of $1,000 or more, members may "Adopt a Piano" and enjoy additional benefits, such as recognition for one year in the studio in which the adopted piano resides, updates on who is using "your" piano during the year, the teacher and events associated with that studio, invitations to special piano performances, and name inclusion on all piano recital program books as member of the Chopin Society.
