The Scriabin Society of America was founded in 1995. Mindful of its predecessor, The Scriabin Circle, created by Katherine Ruth Heyman in New York in 1934 and appreciative of good wishes from the Scriabin Museum in Moscow and the All-Russian Scriabin Association, the Scriabin Society of America has as its purpose the furtherance of the music and ideas of Alexander Scriabin (1872-1915).
The Society aspires to be a focal point for those interested in Scriabin’s music and life, a provider of information on scholarly writings and current projects regarding Scriabin, a supporter of works in progress and a sponsor of activities promoting Scriabin’s legacy.
As a humanist organization, the SSA wishes to promote peace on earth, and it condemns in the strongest terms the ruthless and barbaric Russian military invasion of Ukraine, which shows disrespect for international law and a flagrant disregard for the sanctity of human life.
