    NOTES JUNE 2004 A MAGAZINE FOR ALUMNI OF THE EASTMAN SCHOOL OF MUSIC FROM THE EDITOR The right “stu≠” Dear Eastman Alumni: We like Notes’ new look, and it seems you do too. Response has been unani- mously favorable; perhaps we should consider a Steve Boerner–David Cowles NOTES presidential ticket for 2008. I’d vote for them; these two artists made “Notes Volume 22, Number 2 nouveau” a pleasure, and I’m glad the pleasure was conveyed in the magazine June 2004 itself. I write the stuff, but they (and our photographers) make it look good! We also had a tremendous response to our “Eastman Alumni on CD” feature; Editor see pages 33¬34. And enough of you commented on different editorial aspects of David Raymond Notes (not always favorably) that we have a “Letters to the Editor” section, which Assistant editor may be a first for us. Christina Casey This issue of Notes is admittedly filled with history, but Susan Conkling’s re- Contributing writers minder of the great women who shaped both American music and Eastman, and Martial Bednar Amy Blum Paul Burgett’s reminder of four black composers who Christine Corrado played an important part in Eastman history, are stories Contributing photographers worth telling. As is the story of the success of Howard Kurt Brownell Hanson’s Merry Mount at the Met in 1934—a remarkable Gelfand-Piper Photography event, when you think about it. I should add a special Bob Klein Photography word of thanks here to David Peter Coppen, the Sibley Carlos Ortiz Don Ver Ploeg/VP Communications Library Archivist, who is always helpful with providing Amy Vetter historical photographs and other materials for Notes, but Photography coordinator outdid himself for these three articles.

What many once knew as the Swan Street parking lot was a small triangular parcel of land—the last piece of real estate George needed to complete his school and theater, at least as he had originally imagined it back in 1922. But the price the owner demanded was in George’s mind too high, and so the theater project went ahead without that property. In the ensuing years, the University of Rochester purchased the lot, and we are now completing the second phase of our Eastman Theatre Renovation and Expansion Project.

Be it a Bach Goldberg Variation, the brilliant economy of Britten’s or- chestration in Turn of the Screw, the music in the mad ruminations of King Lear, or the visual music of Miro, it is the stirring nature of such intense, insightful observation that moves us. Interestingly, these artistic epiphanies bear a remarkable resemblance to what happens during great teaching.

And when Dietlinde settled in Rochester as a teenager, one of her passions quickly became taking the bus to watch Eastman students perform. After retiring from a teaching career, she decided to giveback to the University through a George Eastman Circle Scholarship that supports the students who bring her so much joy. “I’d like to see them become musicians or maybe even music teachers, combining two of the things that are so important.” —Dietlinde Payne ’64 Retired Teacher Rochester, New York Supports: Eastman School of Music To learn more about the new George Eastman Members of the George Eastman Circle, the University of Rochester’s leadership annual giving Circle Scholarship program, please visit society, can establish scholarships to help students in www.GeorgeEastmanCircle.com/Scholarships the schools they care about most by committing at least $5,000 annually for a minimum of five years.

  • Emily Sibley Watson (1855-1945)
    Emily Sibley Watson (1855-1945) Emily Sibley Watson was a Rochester grand dame who lives on in most people’s imaginations, if she lives on at all, as a staid and starchy dowager. However, archival materials tell a different and vital story, one about a vibrant girl who grew to be a devoted daughter, wife and mother, steadfast friend, intrepid traveler, and compassionate and generous philanthropist. At the same time, as materials have migrated from one generation to the next and into widely separated archives, there are limits to our understanding and interpretation. Still, it is a story filled with adventure, celebration, and tragedy, and its arc overlaps and intersects with the growth of the city famous for Frederick Douglass, Susan B. Anthony, and George Eastman. She remains one of Rochester’s least well-known individuals, overshadowed by the accomplishments of her father and son1, but her gifts to the community have put Rochester on the cultural map for over one hundred years. Emily Sibley Watson in later life Born in 1855, Emily Sibley Watson made her ar- rival around the time that her father, Hiram Sib- ley, was consolidating the Western Union Company. The youngest of four children, and one of only two to survive beyond the 1860s, her life bore only slight resemblance to that of her elder sister, Louise Sibley Atkinson (1833- 1868). Louise spent her earliest years in rural Monroe County, traveled exclusively within the New York/New England region, went to school in Canandaigua, and fretted about expenses. Emily, twenty-two years young- er, was born into immense wealth and privilege and access to the highest levels of culture and society.

    Eastman Rochester Organ Initiative and the Film/Music Cluster of the University of Rochester present October 23–26, 2014 Eastman School of Music Rochester, New York The Eastman Rochester Organ Initiative (EROI) When the Eastman School of Music opened its doors in 1921, it housed the largest and most lavish organ collection in the nation, befitting the interests of its founder, George Eastman. Mr. Eastman provided the School with opulent facilities and stellar faculty, creating an expansive vision for organ art and education in the 20th century. Over the years, the Eastman School has built on this vision by offering one of the most distinguished organ programs in the world. In keeping with this tradition of excellence, the Eastman School of Music has embarked on a long-range plan, the Eastman Rochester Organ Initiative (EROI), which will extend George Eastman’s vision into the 21st century. With the aim of making Rochester a global center for organ performance, research, building, and preservation, the Eastman Rochester Organ Initiative of the Eastman School of Music is assembling a collection of new and historic organs unparalleled in North America. An incomparable teaching resource, this collection offers access to organs of diverse styles and traditions to talented young musicians from around the world. Tourists, scholars, and music lovers are drawn to Rochester to hear the varied sounds of these extraordinary instruments. In its short thirteen-year history, EROI has completed an initial phase that has included the placement of four magnificent instruments in downtown Rochester. A historic Italian Baroque organ was installed in the University of Rochester’s Memorial Art Gallery in 2005.

  • Summer 2007 a Magazine for Alumni and Friends of the Eastman School of Music from the Editor
    SUMMER 2007 A MAGAZINE FOR ALUMNI AND FRIENDS OF THE EASTMAN SCHOOL OF MUSIC FROM THE EDITOR “Beautiful problems” When I am putting together the many different items that make up an issue of Eastman Notes, I sometimes ask myself if there is a through-line (or if you prefer a musical term, a Leitmotif) that truly ties them together, and makes the maga- zine something more than an Eastman miscellany. When I listened to the distinguished composer Mario Davidovsky, who vis- ited Eastman this spring as the composition department’s fi rst Howard Hanson Composer-in-Residence, I took copious notes, of course. In going over them be- fore writing my article on the event, I was struck by a scribbled phrase: beauti- ful problems. This was Davidovsky’s own description of his compositions, but he NOTES seemed to be referring to the process and challenge of composing a piece, not the fi nished work. I can easily see why a composer, whose approach to his work Volume 25, Number 2 is both craftsmanlike and intuitive, might see his job in this light. Summer 2007 The phrase stayed with me long after the Davidovsky piece was written (see page 20). I found myself applying it to other events I was writing about for this Editor issue, in which people offer imaginative solutions for some pressing questions David Raymond and problems.
