In 1932 a Dietrich Buxtehude Society has been founded in Lübeck, Germany, joining the
leading persons of Buxtehude research at that time. This society did not survive until our days.
But the preparations for the Buxtehude year 2007 have begun, and so this composer returned to the focus of the musical world,
as did the idea of founding a society to promote his work.
The “International Dieterich Buxtehude Society” was founded on 8 May 2004 in Lübeck, Germany. Its purpose can be read in the excerpt of the constitution below, §
2, the statement of mission.
The Society consists of the Assembly, the Governing Board, the Advisory Board and a Board of Supporters/Curators (in German: “Kuratorium”). Members of the Advisory Board and the Board of
Supporters/Curators will be appointed by the Governing Board.
The Assembly meets at least once a year. The term of office for the Governing Board is three years. Membership dues shall be EUR 20,- for Students and EUR
40,- for ordinary members, EUR 100,- for corporations.
You can join our society by using the membership page.
