The Club owes its success to its founder and irreplaced director, Victor Kaslin, a member of the Institute stuff. Someone once made the suggestion that Kaslin be nominated for the Guinnes Book of World Records. And this despite the fact that musical performances are only Kaslin's hobby. In the many years since its founding, the FIAN has produced six Nobel Prize winners. Kaslin sees no contradiction in this kind of melding of physics and misic.
Music can inspire the physicist, whose work, in turn, is much like that of a conposer.
Discoveries are born of creative inspiration and logic is inspired by musical images. Each concert ends with a tea drinking party usually lasting until the wee hours. Some of the founding members bring their children and grasndchildren. Even in these difficalt times, all concerts are free. Despite this, many prominent musicians regard it as an honor to be asked to perform at this prestigious club.
