The Piatigorsky Foundation is dedicated to bringing live classical music directly to communities. virtually anywhere people gather.

Since 1990, 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. Our professional musicians are chosen for their artistry and ability to engage audiences through lively discussion. In performances that are both entertaining and informative, the artists share anecdotes and insights into the works they will perform. The hour-long concerts take place in informal settings including retirement communities, schools, churches, synagogues, hospitals, workplaces, libraries and community centers . . . 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. The Piatigorsky Foundation a qualified 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization that depends on support from the public to achieve our mission. Program goals:

- Enrich community life by bringing extraordinary musical talent to underserved audiences
- Create a broader base for the art form by developing new audiences
- Offer meaningful performance opportunities for established and emerging artists
- Make live classical music an integral part of everyday life for communities across the United States
- Over 200 community concerts will take place this season in over 20 states: Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Washington, and Wyoming.
