Troubetzkoy, served as the President of the Moscow branch of the Russian Musical Society, and for many years was a close aide of the composer Nikolai Rubinstein.
He co-founded the Moscow branch of the Russian Musical Society in 1859 and the Moscow Conservatory in 1866 with Prince Nikolai Petrovitch Troubetzkoy, serving as director of the latter until his death in 1881.
