Forgotten Melodies Society is a concert initiative founded by Nikita Demidenko to promote neglected and rarely performed works of the classical repertoire.


It presents concerts dedicated to overlooked repertoire, with the aim of bringing rarely performed music back to the concert stage and encouraging its wider inclusion in contemporary musical life. Alongside live performances, the project seeks to increase awareness of neglected repertoire through recordings and collaborations with musicians, cultural organisations, and concert venues. Each concert contributes to a growing catalogue of rediscovered works, documented on the Society's website, forgottenmelodiessociety.com


One recent example of the Society's work is Music of Exile, a concert project developed in collaboration with the Pavel Kushnir Scholarship. The project brought together music by composers whose lives and careers were shaped by exile, displacement, or political repression, while also supporting young musicians through the Scholarship's charitable programme.
