Date (inclusive): 1974-1995 Abstract: The Ambassador Auditorium Collection contains the files of the various organizational departments of the Ambassador Auditorium as well as audio and video recordings. The materials cover the entire time period of April 1974 through May 1995 when the Ambassador Auditorium was fully operational as an internationally recognized concert venue. The materials in this collection cover all aspects of concert production and presentation, including documentation of the concert artists and repertoire as well as many business documents, advertising, promotion and marketing files, correspondence, inter-office memos and negotiations with booking agents. The materials are widely varied and include concert program booklets, audio and video recordings, concert season planning materials, artist publicity materials, individual event files, posters, photographs, scrapbooks and original artwork used for publicity. Many of the print materials include handwritten comments from office personnel and administrators, and many of the artist photographs are autographed. Since the various office personnel maintained their own files, and the same information was often needed in more than one office at a time, the collection contains duplicate copies of many items. Although efforts were made to eliminate duplicate material from the same file or the same series, duplicate copies of items exist among the files from different offices. In an effort to maintain the original content of these files, the cross-file duplicate items were retained in the collection. Location note: Stanford Archive of Recorded Sound, Stanford University Libraries Stanford, California 94305-3076 Language of Materials note: English, French, German, Italian, Korean, Spanish, Russian, Hungarian, Dutch, Latin, Malay, Thai, Czech, Slovak. Arrangement note The collection is arranged in ten series according to the original order established by the Ambassador Auditorium personnel: (1) Administrative Files; (2) Concert Files; (3) Concert Management and Booking Files; (4) Concert Program Files; (5) Publicity and Advertising; (6) Marketing Files; (7) Broadcast Media Associate Files and Media Relations/In Recital Files; (8) Performance Files; (9) Miscellaneous Materials: Scrapbooks, Miscellaneous Signed Photographs, Artwork Assigned to Scrapbooks; (10) Concert Recordings. Sub-Series have been established for audio and video recordings. In general, the original order of materials has been maintained to provide a contextual relationship of individual items within each series and within the total collection. Although many of the files were originally organized either alphabetically or chronologically, there seem to be inconsistencies in the filing systems used by the Ambassador personnel. Filing procedures within a single office appeared to have changed over time, or in some cases it appears that different filing systems were used simultaneously. To a large degree, these variants in filing procedure have been maintained with occasional small adjustments made to group together certain related materials when it made sense to do so. Sponsor This collection has been processed under the auspices of the Council on Library and Information Resources with generous financial support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Biographical/Historical note The Ambassador Auditorium is located on the grounds of Maranatha High School (formerly the campus of Ambassador College) in Pasadena, California. The Ambassador was built under the guidance of Herbert W. Armstrong as a facility for religious services of the Worldwide Church of God and also as a performing arts center. The architectural design of the building bears certain similarities to that of the Temple of ancient Israel. The first public concert at the Ambassador was presented by the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Carlo Maria Giulini, on April 7, 1974. For the next twenty years the Ambassador hosted many of the world’s finest performing artists in many genres, and thus it was known as “The Carnegie Hall of the West.” Notable artists who performed at the Ambassador included Artur Rubinstein, Leontyne Price, Victor Borge, Peter Schickele as P.D.Q. Bach, Julian Bream, Andrés Segovia, Barbara Cook, Juilliard String Quartet, Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, Yo-Yo Ma, Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, Jean-Pierre Rampal, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, the Chieftains, the Kingston Trio, Emmylou Harris, Alison Krauss, Marcel Marceau, Claire Bloom, Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Modern Jazz Quartet, Oscar Peterson, Ravi Shankar, Mel Tormé, and the Dance Theatre of Harlem. During this period the Ambassador also hosted the inaugural Ivo Pogorelich International Solo Piano Competition as well as the Pasadena Jazz Festival. The interior design of the hall was noted for its exceptional elegance displaying Iranian onyx, African teak wood, gold overlay and wool carpets from India. Due to the relatively small seating capacity of the main hall Guide to the Ambassador Auditorium ARS.0043 2 Collection ARS.0043 with 1262 seats (compared with Carnegie Hall’s Isaac Stern Auditorium which has 2804 seats), the Ambassador was particularly well suited to small ensembles and solo performances. In the mid 1990s the Worldwide Church of God, which operated the Ambassador Auditorium and Ambassador College, ceased its operations and sold the property. In 2004 a portion of the property, including the Ambassador Auditorium, was purchased by HRock Church of Pasadena. Conditions Governing Use note Property rights reside with the repository.

    INTERNATIONAL BALLET EXCHANGE Annual Report 2018 (Fiscal Year July 1, 2017–June 30, 2018) 38 East Schoolhouse Lane Philadelphia, PA 19144 215.849.7950 (phone) 215.849.3117 (fax) [email protected] www.internationalballet.org MISSION Established in 1998, IBE has an overarching mission: to bring high-quality classical ballet education to students from diverse racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds; to foster valuable artistic and life skills, international understanding, and aesthetic awareness; and to make the understanding and appreciation of ballet accessible to all segments of society. HISTORY International Ballet Exchange (IBE) began as a partnership between Wissahickon Dance Academy (WDA) in Philadelphia and the Pisarev Choreography School in Donetsk, Ukraine. Since its inception, teachers from the Pisarev School have been invited to teach at WDA. In 1993, 1995, and 2007, WDA students had the opportunity to participate in special intensive ballet programs in Donetsk. In 2013, a group of WDA students participated in a two-week intensive with the National Ballet of Cuba, in Havana, Cuba. IBE’s presence in the Philadelphia public schools began in 1999 with a pilot in-school program at Simon Gratz High School in North Philadelphia. With the full support of school administrators, 25 students received ballet training with a ballet master from the Donetsk Ballet of Ukraine and then had the rare experience of performing with the Donetsk Ballet in a free community performance of Peer Gynt. Since 2000, IBE has provided ballet residencies at 12 Philadelphia public schools (current residency sites are in bold): Simon Gratz High School (1999–2010), University City High School (2000–2001), Kenderton Elementary School (2001–2003), Philadelphia High School for Girls (2002–2004), Northeast High School (2004–2006; 2016– ), Anna B.
