Abstract
The article focuses on Jacques Maritain's connections with various prominent Russian composers from the first part of the 20th century. The French Catholic philosopher Jacques Maritain's marriage to a Russian émigré, Rayssa Umantsova, played an important role in connecting him with such prominent Russian musicians as Igor Stravinsky, Arthur Lourie and Nikolay Nabokov. The friendly relationships Maritain and his wife established with them lasted, at least for the last two, all their lives. A major source of information on these relationships is the couple's personnal archive, kept in their Alsatian house of Kolbsheim, in the Strasbourg area, which historical significance is highlighted in the present study.
