Pyotr Leshchenko Club
The Peter Lescenko Club, organized in 1991, is named after the most famous singer of the Russian Diaspora and father of the Russian tango Peter Konstantinovich Leschenko (or, according to the standard spelling of the time—Lescenko). The great bass Fedor Chaliapine called Lescenco a “record singer,” as his records sold millions of copies throughout the world.
The organizer and leader of the club is Alexander Petrov. The club promotes the music of Old Russia that is our heritage. It organizes concerts, radio shows, as well as Festivals of the Songs of the Russian Diaspora. The club’s concerts were televised in the 1990’s, but with the commercialization of television, such concerts are no longer aired. The Club has practically no sponsors.
The Club maintains the largest collection of recordings (LPs) of singers and musicians of Russian Diaspora in the world.
In the Peter Lescenco Club’s files are singers, musicians, choruses, and instrumental ensembles from Moscow, Russia and from throughout the world, both active and retired, as well as relatives of performers who have passed away.
