Dear Brothers and Sisters!
On Sunday, November 3, 2024, at 1:00 PM, in the parish hall of St. Nicholas Cathedral in New York, there will be a meeting with Denis von Meck, a descendant of the families of the great Russian composer P.I. Tchaikovsky and his longtime friend and benefactress N.F. von Meck. Topic of the meeting: “The Family of P.I. Tchaikovsky and the Composer’s Spiritual Path.”
Denis von Meck is a descendant of the niece of P.I. Tchaikovsky and of the son of N.F. von Meck. Denis von Meck’s talk will touch, in particular, on P.I. Tchaikovsky’s trip to the USA in 1891 to take part in the opening of Carnegie Hall, where he conducted the orchestra in a performance of his festive march.
The composer left interesting recollections of this journey.
