What Your
Support Enables
WIPAC hosts a series of 4 concerts in Spring and Fall Seasons open to the public free of charge at The Kosciuszko Foundation Center for American Polish Culture, 2025 "O" Street, NW, Washington, DC.
WIPAC presents an annual Winners Grand Prix Concert in April, featuring up to 4 winners of International Piano Competitions who showcase their talents in the same evening, followed by a champagne dinner. A music tradition in our nation's capital, it is always presented in cooperation with an International Embassy. Proceeds support WIPAC's annual Festival of Music and International Piano Artists Competition — open to all non-professional pianists 31 years of age and above — in cooperation with The George Washington University Music Department (Corcoran Gallery of Music) in late July or early August.
The Final round is held at various embassy grand halls or other attractive venues in the DC metro area. An awards ceremony and celebratory dinner follows the final round. The audience is asked to vote for their choice to determine the "Audience Award." In addition, many donor-sponsored cash prizes are offered.
WIPAC's activities also include a variety of musical events, some free of charge, and special social fundraising events, such as an annual Gala, throughout the season for the enjoyment of its members.
