Abstract

The article concerns the topic relevant to understanding the process of shaping world culture. The problem of the mutual influence of cultures, in our opinion, is not sufficiently understood, and many important factors of this process remain in the shadow. The aim of the study is to try to trace the influence of Russian émigrés on the formation and flourishing of the American music culture in the late 19th - early 20th century. Bibliographic materials, letters, newspaper and magazine articles of great interest to researchers were widely used in the work. Conclusions that can be reached upon reading the article suggest that the influence of Russian émigrés on the culture of the United States of the period, multiplied by the well-known American efficiency, allowed the United States of America to build a world-class musical culture in a very short historical period.
