NATIONAL MUSIC MUSEUM CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE

Reflecting on this past year at the NMM, I am pleased to report one In May, NMM trustee and executive committee member Kevin important fact. The generous spirit of those individuals who support the Schieffer purchased a special Amati violin, now on display at the NMM continues to grow. NMM. The King Henry IV Amati Violin (ca. 1595) was built and embel- lished to honor Henry IV of France. NMM Trustee Claire Givens and Earlier in the year, USD Alumnus Tom Brokaw narrated a video about the Andrew Dipper, of Givens Violins, donated their time and expertise to National Music Museum. Developed by the creative people at Blue Fire ensure the instrument transfer went smoothly. Mr. Schieffer purchased Design Group in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the video can be viewed on the violin in honor of his son’s birth on May 4, 2010. The violin is on YouTube. You will also find a link to the video on the NMM website, display near the Rawlins Gallery. www.nmmusd.org. None of these things could have been accomplished without the generous support of our donors, trustees, members, staff, and benefactors. Soon, the NMM will embark on a capital improvement campaign. With a collection closing in on 15,000 pieces, the NMM has outgrown its current home. USD agreed to allow the NMM to expand into the adjacent South Dakota Union building, which can be renovated into additional museum and conservation space, with your financial assistance. You can help us by renewing your membership or encouraging someone you know to become a member. Best Wishes,

NATIONAL MUSIC MUSEUM DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE

The NMM was founded in 1973 in the former Carnegie library building on the campus of The University of South Dakota as The Shrine to Music with some 2,500 instruments and a vast collection of printed material and related items collected over many decades by my father, Arne B. Larson. The partnership between the NMM, Inc. and the University of South Dakota remains strong and productive.

It has been my pleasure to serve as the founding director of the NMM since its inception and I am grateful to the many donors, volunteers and members who have contributed in so many ways to produce what is the world’s most extensive collection of instruments and related archives. Today, there are nearly 15,000 instruments in the various NMM collections. I am also grateful to the staff of curators, students and support personnel who have made such a contribution of their energy and professional expertise to the success of the NMM.

Looking to the future, we are excited that The University of South Dakota and the South Dakota Board of Regents will make a nearby second building, the South Dakota Union, available for the use of the NMM. This additional building with its 32,000 square feet and new construction connecting the two buildings will enable the NMM to expand its commitment to research, education, and public display of its cultural treasures from around the world.

If you can’t visit us in person, please visit our website at NMM Trustee Kevin Schieffer (right) presents The King Henry IV www.nmmusd.org. I encourage you to become a member and support violin by the Brothers Amati (ca. 1595) to André Larson (left), the NMM. NMM Director, in May 2010.
