Eaton, Hall Services Marilyn Hunter, Youth Activities Faces of the BSO: Orchestra Members Onstage and Off Currently on display in the Huntington Avenue corridor of the Cohen Wing is an exhibit that presents an informal look at the men and women of the Boston Symphony Orchestra over the years. Drawing from the extensive collection of photo- graphs in the BSO Archives, as well as scores, programs, and other memorabilia, the exhibit not only examines the players as members of the BSO but also explores some of their special tal- ents and outside activities. BSO bass trombonist Douglas Yeo, who has published several articles on the history of the BSO's brass section, con- ceived the idea for this exhibit and worked with the Archives staff to mount it. Pictured here with composer Roy Harris (center), on the occasion of the February 26, 1943 world premiere of his Fifth Symphony, are BSO brass players Lucien Hansotte, Georges Mager, Jacob Raichman, and John Coffey.

  • Download Liner Notes
    A MESSAGE FROM THE MILKEN ARCHIVE FOUNDER Dispersed over the centuries to all corners of the earth, the Jewish people absorbed elements of its host cultures while, miraculously, maintaining its own. As many Jews reconnected in America, escaping persecution and seeking to take part in a visionary democratic society, their experiences found voice in their music. The sacred and secular body of work that has developed over the three centuries since Jews first arrived on these shores provides a powerful means of expressing the multilayered saga of American Jewry. My personal interest in music and deep abiding commitment to synagogue life and the Jewish people united as I developed an increasing appreciation for the quality and tremendous diversity of music written for or inspired by the American Jewish experience. Through discussions with contemporary Jewish composers and performers during the 1980s, I realized that while much of this music had become a vital force in American and world culture, even more music of specifically Jewish content had been created, perhaps performed, and then lost to current and future generations. Believing that there was a unique opportunity to rediscover, preserve, and transmit the collective memory contained within this music, the Milken Archive of American Jewish Music was founded in 1990. This project would unite the Jewish people’s eternal love of music with their commitment to education, a commitment shared by the Milken Family Foundation since our founding in 1982. The passionate collaboration of many distinguished artists, ensembles, and recording producers has created a vast repository of musical resources to educate, entertain, and inspire people of all faiths and cultures.
