ABOUT US

 

INTRODUCTION

 

The Rachmaninoff Society (Charity registered in the UK No. 1114932) was founded in 1990 to bring into contact all those who appreciate the Russian composer, pianist and conductor Sergei Vasilyevich Rachmaninoff (1873-1943) and to further the study of his life and music.

 

Over the last decade, the Rachmaninoff Society has been active worldwide, assisting in the organisation of numerous conferences and concerts, as well as the preparation of radio programmes. It has also stimulated the publication of various unknown scores and the making of recordings.

 

Members receive a twice-yearly journal, The Bells, and regular updates on the Society's activities. They can take part in events organised throughout the world.
