SOUND INVESTMENT A Report from DePaul University09 School of Music 2008–09 letter from the dean october, 2009

Dear Friend,

Our school was founded nearly a century ago, with modest (some would say “paltry”) facilities and limited expectations, but also with a fervent commitment to serve and the hopes that the new school would not only endure but become “respectable.” Now, 97 years later, we can look back over many generations of capable students and a very long string of dedicated and altogether memorable faculty and staff, and be genuinely astonished at all that these many folks accomplished. The DePaul School of Music rightly stands today as peer to the few finest and most celebrated music schools in America. I wonder if our founders ever imagined such a destiny for their fledgling cause.

It was our faculty and staff who in large measure fueled this development—together with University leaders who sustained a faith in our part of DePaul’s story—who believed that a strong school of music could emerge from such modest circumstances and at a University that lived meagerly. Beyond that, it was giving and sacrifice that has made the difference, as individuals such as yourself gave the School what the University could not. Those gifts are woven into the fabric of what we’ve become and are now an Donald E. Casey important part of what we are. Whether the gifts were of a few dollars or a million or more, we are and Dean of the School of Music always will be deeply grateful. 2008-09 Now, though, we turn our gaze forward and imagine what the School of Music at DePaul will become. The current faculty and staff, together with the University’s administration, have a vision for the School in which grand new purpose-built and state-of-the-art facilities for the School will be constructed within the next several years, located right where we’ve been since 1977—on the 2300 block of North Halsted!

Fully realized, this vision will ensure that fine and needy music students will be able to afford an education at DePaul, that specialized study materials will be available to them here, and that their learning, practice, and performance experiences will be profoundly enhanced by the spaces in which they will pursue them. It’s a grand and compelling vision, and we trust that many of the folks who care about music, or who care about music in Chicago, will help us bring this vision into reality. The centennial celebration of the School of Music will be noted in 2012-2013, and we want to celebrate then not only where we’ve been, but also where we are going. We hope you’ll be there with us.

Thank you for your kindess, and for your faith in this very special place.

Donald E. Casey, Dean DePaul University School of Music
