Our potential places:

We are in the process of considering a few places in St Petersburg, to get the best of the music, the historyal relation of Manuel de Falla and the Russian Culture.

I ,personally, after years living in St Petersburg in Repina Ulitsa, have a list of preference happy to share with you, but open to any offer that you may recommend:

Ivan Konstantinovich Myasnikov's Mansion

Thanks to its rich history and authentic artistic elements, the mansion possesses high historical and cultural significance, representing both 19th-century architecture and 20th-century St. Petersburg life.

Today, the Myasnikov Mansion is a cultural space reviving the traditions of St. Petersburg’s aristocratic society, hosting classical music concerts, art brunches, lectures, ballet performances, and film screenings. You can always find current events in the “Events” section of the website.

See you at the Myasnikov Mansion!

Sheremetev Palace (Museum of Music)

Standing on the banks of the Fontanka River, a few steps from Nevsky Prospekt, the Sheremetev Palace was once the centre of one of the largest aristocratic estates in St. Petersburg, bequeathed to Field-Marshal Boris Sheremetev in 1712 and extending beyond what is now Ligovsky Prospekt. In its prime in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the Sheremetev Palace boasted not only extensive lands, but also its own hospital and theatre, where the Sheremetev’s famous serf theatrical troupe and orchestra performed. The palace is also known as ‘the Fountain House’ for the opulent arrangement of fountains that once decorated its gardens.

Letter from Álvaro Flores Coleto

Dear friends,
Manuel de Falla was a key figure in European culture during the first half of the 20th century and the great composer who has served as a driving force for disseminating our musical heritage.
In 2026, the 150th anniversary of this universal composer’s birth and the 80th anniversary of his death coincide. This commemoration also coincides with the centenaries of central works in his catalog, such as the ballet El amor brujo, Psyché, and the Concerto for Harpsichord and Five Instruments, not forgetting, most importantly, his unfinished Atlántida.
The commemoration of the 150th anniversary of Manuel de Falla (1876-2026) has been declared an event of exceptional public interest by the Council of Ministers through Royal Decree-Law 8/2025, of July 8. This declaration is due to its exceptional nature, stemming from its cultural relevance, international dimension, and the social impact it generates.

Within the framework of this anniversary, the Manuel de Falla Archive Foundation will promote and coordinate various activities, while also collaborating with initiatives from other institutions.
We encourage you to join us in this celebration and stay up-to-date with the latest news on our website and social media, joining us in this exciting project.

Thank you very much for your collaboration.
