Moscow of Scriabin and Rachmaninoff: from Smolenskaya to Arbatskaya – a walking tour

The A.N. Scriabin Memorial Museum invites you to a walking tour on February 7 at 5:00 PM.
The tour route goes along the Arbat and its lanes. Many buildings here are associated with the names of the great Russian composers — Alexander Nikolayevich Scriabin and Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff. Their contemporaries opposed them in every way. And yet the life and creative paths of these two greatest composers intersected repeatedly. In particular, both Scriabin and Rachmaninoff were residents of the Arbat district. During the tour we will stroll along the famous street and its picturesque lanes, where every building keeps its own secrets and stories. The Arbat not only became home to two brilliant composers, but also a place of rich cultural life, creating a special creative environment in which their talents developed. We will see the houses where Scriabin and Rachmaninoff lived and the places where important events of their lives took place. This is not just a walk through the streets of Moscow, but a real cultural expedition, full of musical discoveries and historical parallels!
