Performances
Forgotten Melodies Society creates vital performance opportunities for musicians to explore repertoire beyond the standard canon. Through our monthly concerts at the Church of the Annunciation and special collaborative festivals, we provide a platform for both emerging artists and established performers to bring rarely heard works to life. These initiatives not only expand performers' artistic horizons but also offer audiences the chance to discover music that has been unjustly neglected.
Monthly Concerts
Every last Wednesday of the month, we host midday concerts at the Church of the Annunciation in Marble Arch (13:15-14:15). These concerts are open to all musicians, though we particularly encourage young artists and conservatoire students to participate. There are no restrictions on repertoire - you can perform any rare or seldom-heard works you choose, from any period or style.
To apply to perform, simply email us at forgotten.melodies23@gmail.com with your proposed program. Since starting in [year], these concerts have become an important platform for music that rarely gets heard in London's mainstream concert halls.
Music of Exile Festival
Together with the Pavel Kushnir Scholarship, we present an annual festival featuring music by composers who had to leave their home countries, including figures like Medtner, Stravinsky, Bartók, Piazzolla, Hindemith, Enescu and Milhaud. The festival's three concerts showcase talented students from London's top music schools: the Royal Academy of Music, Royal College of Music, and King's College London.
Work with Maria Vraka Music Academy
We collaborate with Maria Vraka Music Academy on several projects. This includes public concerts where their students perform rare repertoire, as well as internal competitions where I provide personal mentorship to participants, advising them on selecting and interpreting unusual works.
