The Piatigorsky Foundation is a small non-profit organization dedicated to making live classical music an integral part of everyday life for communities throughout New York and across the United States. Gregor Piatigorsky, the renowned Russian cellist for whom the organization is named, believed that music is not a luxury for an elite few but a necessity of life for all.
Description:
Since 1990, The Foundation has presented more than 2,350 performances, introducing the joy of music in communities across the country. Our artists play for audiences including seniors, schoolchildren, the economically disadvantaged, and those living in geographically remote areas. Concerts take place in familiar community settings - schools, workplaces, libraries, retirement communities, and community centers - virtually anywhere people gather.
History:
The Piatigorsky Foundation began providing free classical music concerts to senior citizens in Maryland and gradually broadened its scope to reach diverse audiences in communities across the country. The Foundation has expanded its outreach programs each year and will bring live classical music to more than 16,000 people this season.
