Russia plans 500 Rachmaninov events in 48 hours
NewsRussia’s Deputy Minister of Culture Alla Manilova has proclaimed April 1 and 2 to be Rachmaninov Days, marking the 150th anniversary of the composer’s birth in the Novgorod province in 1873.
He was born on April 1 but for some reason always celebrated April 2 as his birthday.
Rachmaninov left Russia in January 1914 and never returned.
