Wednesday, September 18, 2013 5—8 p.m. (unless otherwise listed) Welcome to the Wabash Arts Corridor Crawl! Today we unleash the collective power of the many ed- ucational and cultural institutions in our district, creating synergy with our local businesses, residents, students and general public. The Wabash Arts Corridor is one of the city of Chicago’s most important cultural assets, home to eight educational institutions with 30,000 students—5,000 of which reside in residence halls. The crawl also consists of 19 galleries, 14 performance spaces, six major hotels and more than 40 restaurants and businesses catering to this vibrant community. The district produces more than 1,000 cultural events with annual audiences of more than 1,000,000! Most of these assets have been in place for years, but the emergence of the Wabash Arts Corridor concept brings them all together. The Wabash Arts Corridor Crawl is our coming–out party where the rich life of our district becomes palpable. Go out and enjoy this special day, and let this be a marker for both the Wabash Arts Corridor community and the city of Chicago. This is the day our collective power becomes understood.

    Sound Investment A Report from DePaul University School of Music,12 2011–12 letter from the dean Contents september, 2012 Dear Friends, It was one hundred years ago this month and on a site just three blocks away from the School’s current home that the DePaul University School of Music opened its doors for the first time and began the noble mission of educating promising young musicians—the mission that continues to fully engage our 135 faculty and staff every single day. Of course, the School of Music is profoundly elevated now from those very humble beginnings. Still, we expect to spend a part of this year looking Donald E. Casey back and reflecting upon the path that has Dean of the School of Music Of Note: 2011-2012 Highlights 4-5 brought us to where we find ourselves today. An extensive set of events and celebrations to mark this centennial milestone begins this Faculty News 6-9 fall, and these events and celebrations will individually and collectively mark this year in New Faculty Members ways that will no doubt prove especially memorable. We hope you make plans to celebrate Faculty and Staff Activities along with us. Community Music Division Many of the events will be concerts, and some will feature the music that was being newly Master Classes formed in 1912-1913—the year of our genesis; others will feature music that is freshly composed expressly to note the centennial of the School. Among these is a set of piano preludes Student News 10-11 by 15 current and past DePaul composers, each of less than three minutes duration and each Student Scholar Spotlight beginning and concluding with a concert “D” sounding; the School will publish these preludes on our website and any and all will be able to be downloaded without charge.
