Nestled in the heart of Cheektowaga, New York, the Frederick Chopin Singing Society of Buffalo stands as a testament to the enduring power of music and community. Founded in 1899 by Boleslaus Michalski, a Polish immigrant and organist at St. Adalbert’s Basilica, the society has been a cornerstone of Buffalo’s cultural life for over a century.
The society recently celebrated its 125th anniversary, marking the occasion with a special event featuring a presentation and book signing by Gregory Witul, who chronicled the society’s history in his book “The Frederick Chopin Singing Society of Buffalo NY, 1899-2024”. This milestone event not only commemorated the society’s past but also looked forward to its future contributions to Buffalo’s cultural tapestry.
