*************************************************************
Supported by the Serge Prokofiev Foundation and the Serge Prokofiev Archive,
an association devoted to this major composer has been created.

The Serge Prokofiev Association
President:  Sir Edward Downes
Patron:  Valery Gergiev

The Association description page is on
http://www.musicwrite.demon.co.uk/spa.html

Members will receive a bi-annual journal, Three Oranges, which will cover
all aspects of cultural and social life around Prokofiev in the various
countries he operated in.  (He lived successively in the Ukraine, St
Petersburg, the United States, Germany, Paris and finally Moscow from 1936
to his death in 1953).

The journal benefits from special circumstances.  The Editor being also
Curator of the Serge Prokofiev Archive, much of the Archive's material and
expertise will be made widely available to contributors.  As a result, a
considerable amount of primary sources so far unpublished will appear in
Three Oranges on a regular basis.  The Archive has a close relationship
with the Prokofiev family and so Three Oranges will regularly include
recollections and materials from the family.  Finally the journal will
invite the contribution of Western and Russian specialists in the related
fields of social and cultural history, literature, art, cinema and ballet;
areas of particular interest in the study of most composers of the first
half of the twentieth century.  As well as sustaining a lively debate on
the significance of Prokofiev's life and work, Three Oranges will be an
invaluable general reference document on the first half of the twentieth
century.

Academic colleagues are invited to support the work of the Archive and
Association by becoming a member and/or recommending that their
institution's library subscribe to the journal.

The Serge Prokofiev Archive

Established at Goldsmiths College, University of London, the Archive is
supported by The Serge Prokofiev Foundation.
It houses a unique and extensive collection of autograph and facsimile
papers, correspondence and photos, mostly provided by the Prokofiev Estate.
In addition the Archive includes microfilms of music manuscripts, books,
scores, memorabilia and audio-visual material.
The Archive's prime mission is to provide up-to-date information to scholars
as to the nature and location of extant autographs, to make its unique
collection available, and to act as an international forum through which
institutions and scholars from Russia and the West discuss research relating
to Prokofiev and his close associates.  Projects undertaken by the Archive
include the building up of a comprehensive catalogue of Prokofiev's works;
making the Archive's catalogue accessible on-line; and major publications on
Prokofiev.
Visits to the Archive are by arrangement with the Curator.
