RACHMANINOFF SOCIETY NEWS AND EVENTS

Upcoming events

• Members' weekend and Annual General Meeting, Pendrell Hall, UK, 12-14 September 2008

For our 2008 event, we return to Pendrell Hall College, a country house near Wolverhampton in Staffordshire, where many successful Society weekends were staged in the past. We hope to welcome both old friends and new to this relaxed, informal venue. Places are limited, and are booking up fast.

The programme consists of a mixture of:

performances - including a recital by young pianist and composer Carson Becke, who counts among his awards the 1st prize at the 2006 S.V. Rachmaninov International Piano Competition in Novgorod, Russia. Carson will play a selection of Préludes and Etudes-tableaux;

informative, insightful and entertaining talks - the Symphonic Dance No.3 and the Preludes Op.23 will be the focus of two lectures, with piano illustrations;

discussions about the Society's future activities - based around our business plan for 2008-2010;

... and socialising.

The event is open to fully-paid members ONLY. Membership starts at £15/$25/€22, and a special 3-year rate is also available.

More information about the programme, venue and costs are available on the members-only section of the website.
