The Stanislaw Moniuszko Warsaw Music Society was founded on January 15, 1871, on the initiative of Wladyslaw Wislicki, with the participation of Stanislaw Moniuszko, Jozef Sikorski, Ignacy Krzyzanowski, among others. Initially, the Society was headquartered in the building of the Grand Theater (1871-1909), and then, until the outbreak of World War II, in the Warsaw Philharmonic Hall. WTM organized numerous concerts and had its own choirs and an amateur string orchestra, and from the beginning of the 20th century, chamber and vocal ensembles and a small symphony orchestra. In 1884 the Society established a music school, which was first headed by Noskowski and later by Münchheimer. In 1919 the school was renamed the Fryderyk Chopin School of Music, which from 1927 to 1937 organized the first three editions of the Chopin Competition, and in 1935 the Henryk Wieniawski International Violin Competition.
