The Parisian Salon Concerts association was founded by Didier Lepauw during November, 1999, in Chicago, as part of an international tribute to Frederic Chopin launched by UNESCO, on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the great composer's death.
Inspired by the Parisian salons of old, and by Chopin's preference for playing in the private salons of wealthy and aristocratic patrons, Mr. Lepauw organized 14 Parisian Salon Concerts in downtown Chicago. Didier was formerly First Violinist of the Paris Symphony.
The current home of the monthly Parisian Salon Concerts is the Northbrook Public Library of Illinois.
Performances by talented musicians are organized and introduced by Jane and Didier Lepauw on the First Fridays of each month, year 'round, starting at 7:30pm, and ADMISSION IS FREE. The organization continues to support and propagate the art of music.
" Classical music is the kind we keep thinking will turn into a tune. " Kin Hubbard (1868 - 1930)
Here's a map to find the library. |

Didier and Jane Lepauw welcomed the audience and described that the upcoming program would have a few last-minute, unexpected changes.
This month marked the 10th Anniversary of the Parisian Salon Concerts organized by Music Director Didier Lepauw. Jane and Didier welcomed the audience and commented on how Chopin performed frequently at Salons but very rarely in a public venue. They also told of some ways in which George Sand’s novel Consuelo (800+ pages) is part of their family’s life. Friends of Jane and Didier presented a bouquet of fresh flowers to them to commemorate the 10 years of their generous efforts to benefit the public (over 120 consecutive concerts!).
