It gives us a great pleasure to announce the foundation of the first and the only Maria Yudina Society of America. The Society was established on December 31, 2004 in Conway, South Carolina.
The goals of the Society are:
1) To promote the legacy of the great Russian pianist Maria YUDINA in publication and research, establishing the quarterly Maria Yudina Society Newsletter.
2) To start an official release of all available recordings of Maria Yudina (by far the efforts were made to release twenty-eight volumes of her recorded legacy) in the best possible sound quality.
3) To create a complete and comprehensive Biography of Maria Yudina (see the next page for the first draft of Yudina's biography)
