The 2008 Festival

The El Paso Chopin Music Festival,  now in its fourteenth encore season, is continuing to bring superb talent from around the world to the El Paso area. 

Featuring pianists from Mexico, England, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Canada, Russia, China, Taiwan, Yugoslavia, and the United States, the festival has received rave reviews, with every concert playing to a full house..

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. 

"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.  He had his own distinctive style that is readily recognizable. 

 

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.

 

Background Music: Etude in A, Op. 25, No. 11"Winter Wind Etude"

 

 

 

El Paso, Texas is truly an international city, enjoying the distinction of being the most populous US city located on the Mexican border, which it shares with its sister city, Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua.  Including nearby cities, such as Las Cruces, New Mexico, the El Paso area is home to over two million inhabitants.
