Mission Statement
The Piatigorsky Foundation shares live classical music with communities across the United States. Gregor Piatigorsky, the renowned cellist, believed that music is not a luxury for an elite few, but a necessity of life for all. We bring together world-class musicians and eager audiences to celebrate the joy of music through PF community concerts.
About This Cause
Since 1991, The Piatigorsky Foundation has presented more than 4,000 performances, introducing the joy of live classical music in communities throughout the country. Our artists play for audiences including seniors, schoolchildren, the economically disadvantaged, and those living in geographically remote areas. We differ from traditional arts organizations in that we perform in non-traditional venues and present music in a highly communicative format that is geared to each particular audience. Piatigorsky Artists are chosen for their talent and ability to engage audiences through lively discussion. In performances that are both entertaining and informative, the musicians share anecdotes and insights into the works they perform. The hour-long concerts take place in informal settings including retirement communities, schools, churches, synagogues, hospitals, workplaces, libraries and community centers . . . virtually anywhere people gather. By bringing musicians into familiar, intimate surroundings and creating a lively concert format, we make classical music accessible to a diverse and often uninitiated population.
