Detroit Symphony Orchestra Hall, Inc. Collection Papers, 1950-1986 Detroit Symphony Orchestra Hall, Inc. Collection Papers, 1950-1986 (Predominantly, 1962-1986) 48 linear feet Accession # 1290 DALNET# OCLC# The Detroit Symphony Orchestra (DSO) grew out of a meeting of ten young women on January 8, 1914 at the home of Mrs. Alexander Sibley. To provide Detroit with culture, the women raised money for the first concert of the DSO presented on November 19, 1914. One of the orchestra's first music directors, Ossip Gabrilowitsch, demanded the DSO have a permanent home to give it a greater sense of professionalism. Designed by C. Howard Crane and built in 1919, Orchestra Hall served this purpose until 1956, when Henry and Edsel Ford Auditorium opened. The DSO returned to Orchestra Hall in 1989 because of its excellent acoustics. The DSO not only performs regular subscription concerts and special concerts at its home, but also a series of Young People's Conceits and school conceits, outstate and national tour concerts, free concerts, mid-season festivals as well as the summer Meadow Brook Music Festival, radio broadcasts, and recordings. In 1979 me DSO made its first trip to Europe. The DSO also operates the Detroit Symphony Civic Orchestra, a pre-professional youth training orchestra. The papers of Detroit Symphony Orchestra Hall, Inc. consist of correspondence, minutes, printed material, programs, reports, clippings, press releases and financial records related to the administration, marketing and public relations of the DSO. The papers also reflect the orchestra's community outreach and cultural activities and the influence of Music Directors, Paul Paray, Sixten Ending, Antal Dorati, Gunther Herbig and Neeme Jarvi.

  • Leonard Slatkin at 70: the DSO's Music Director Was Born for The
    Leonard Slatkin at 70: The DSO’s music director was born for the podium By Lawrence B. Johnson Some bright young musicians know early on that they want to be a conductor. Leonard Slatkin, who turned 70 Slatkin at 70: on September 1, had a more specific vision. He believed himself born to be a music director. Greatest Hits “First off, it was pretty clear that I would go into conducting once I had the opportunity to actually lead an orchestra,” says Slatkin, music director of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra since 2008 and occupant of the same post with the Orchestre National de Lyon since 2011. “The study process suited my own ethic and, at least for me, I felt relatively comfortable with the technical part of the job.” “But perhaps more important, I knew that I would also be a music director. Mind you, this is a very different job from just getting on the podium and waving your arms. The decision making process and the ability to shape a single ensemble into a cohesive whole, including administration, somehow felt natural to me.” Slatkin arrived at the DSO with two directorships already under his belt – the Saint Louis Symphony (1979-96) and the National Symphony in Washington, D.C. (1996-2008) – and an earful of caution about the economically distressed city and the hard-pressed orchestra to which he was being lured. But it was a challenge that excited him. “Almost everyone warned me about the impending demise of the orchestra,” the conductor says. “A lot of people said that I should not take it.

  • Nina Clemens Gabrilowitsch, 55, Twain's Last Direct Heir, Dies
    Nina Clemens Gabrilowitsch dies Home | Quotations | Newspaper Articles | Special Features | Links | Search The New York Times, January 19, 1966 Nina Clemens Gabrilowitsch, 55, Twain's Last Direct Heir, Dies LOS ANGELES, Jan. 18 (AP) - The county Coroner's office reported today that Miss Nina Clemens Gabrilowitsch, the last direct descendant of Mark Twain, had died Sunday. She was 55 years old. Miss Clemens was found dead in her room at a Los Angeles motel where she often stayed. Several bottles of pills and alcohol were found in the room, the police said. An autopsy was planned. A Los Angeles bartender said today that Miss Clemens had quipped to him on Saturday night: "When I die, I want artificial flowers, jitterbug music and a bottle of vodka at my grave." She was the granddaughter of Twain, whose real name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens. She preferred to use the writer's family name rather than her own. Miss Clemens, who was born four months after her grandfather died, once said that although she had never known him she knew his works "backwards and forwards." Miss Clemens was the daughter of Twain's daughter, Mrs. Clara Langhorne Clemens Samoussoud, and Clara's first husband, Ossip Gabrilowitsch. Mr. Gabrilowitsch was conductor of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra from 1919 until his death in 1936. Miss Clemens's mother died in San Diego on Nov. 19, 1962. A family attorney, Al Matthews, said Miss Clemens had lived on the income of Twain's estate, which he estimated at about $2-million. He said Miss Clemens had an income of $1,500 a month after taxes.

  • Nisbett Building and Fairman Building Rehabilitation Projects
    Historic Preservation in HistoricMichigan Preservation Big Rapids Housing Commission and Hollander Development Nisbett Building and Fairman Building Rehabilitation Projects Nisbett Building The Big Rapids Housing Commission, responding to increasing demand for high quality affordable housing, recognized that a downtown location offered potential residents a broader and more accessible service base than more suburban locations while expanding Fairman Building the market for downtown merchants. The commission partnered with Hollander Development to rehabilitate the Nisbett and Fairman Buildings, located in the heart of Big Rapids. By combining a wide variety of public and private funding with the federal and state historic preservation tax credits, the development team was able to make this combined $5.2-million-dollar investment possible. The projects created 47 new residential units, 38 of which are guaranteed to be affordable units; rehabilitated nearly 126,000 square feet of under- utilized commercial space; and created outdoor space for the use of the residents. The partnership between the Big Rapids Housing Commission and Hollander Development demonstrates that creativity is the key to reinvigorating communities. Historic Preservation in HistoricMichigan Preservation Eric, Tobi and Ryan Breisach 714 Wheaton Avenue, Kalamazoo, State TaxCredit Project The house at 714 Wheaton Avenue was built in 1891 and modified in 1950 by removing the front porch and building an enclosed stair addition to convert the resource to a triplex rental. The interior’s historic character suffered from the installation of false ceilings, inappropriate materials that covered plaster walls and floors, and water damage. Eric and Ryan Breisach, the father and son construction crew, hired a local contractor to help them finish a complete rehabilitation of the resource during the summer and fall of 2003.

  • WSU University Relations Division Records
    University Relations Division Collection Papers, 1936-1977 (predominantly, 1949-1977) 64.5 linear feet Accession # 5 OCLC # DALNET # The papers of the University Relations Division reflect the activities of Wayne’s public relations offices. They consist of press releases, photographs, correspondence, minutes, reports, and clippings. The papers focus on general subjects, including the promotion of the United States Bicentennial, Wayne's Centennial, the Michigan Legislature's allocation and Wayne's budget, and Wayne's athletics program. The Division underwent several name changes to more accurately reflect its services. In the 1940s it was called the Community Relations Program and aimed to establish a working relationship between the University and any group or individual within the community with the intent of selling the University as a service institution to the community. In August of 1949, all University activities and programs related to public communication and interpretation of the University’s work were integrated to form the Division of Community Relations under the direction of Percival Dodge. The new division included the Office of Press Relations, Wayne University Speakers’ Bureau, and the Office of Community Services. William E. Stirton replaced Dodge as the director on July 1, 1952. Frank X. Tuohey replaced Stirton in October of 1955. The Office of Press Relations and Publication Services, under Tuohey’s direction, assisted all units of the University in internal and external relations projects. The office was divided into art, printing, publications, and press relations. The primary function of the Office of Press Relations was to interpret the University to the community through all available media such as newspapers, magazines, radio and television.

Graham Featured in Laugh Provoking Comedy; Unemployed to Benefit" (1 & 8 - AC, CO, CW, GD, and LA) - "Long ago it was decided that the chief aim of the Players' Club should be to entertain its members rather than to educate them or enlighten them on social questions or use them as an element in developing new ideas and methods in the Little Theatre movement."2 Philip Barry's "The Youngest" fit the bill very well. "Antiques, Subject of Woman's Club. Chippendale Furniture Discussed by Instructor at School of Industrial Art. Art Comm.

  • For Immediate Release Dso Celebrates Conclusion of Orchestra Hall Centennial with Unveiling of Artist Ken Aptekar's I Hear An
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DSO CELEBRATES CONCLUSION OF ORCHESTRA HALL CENTENNIAL WITH UNVEILING OF ARTIST KEN APTEKAR’S I HEAR AN ECHO Commissioned by Gary L. Wasserman & Charles A. Kashner in honor of DSO President and CEO Anne Parsons, painting will remain on display in the William Davidson Atrium of the Max M. and Marjorie S. Fisher Music Center Detroit, (October 26, 2020) – On Friday, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra (DSO) unveiled a new work by celebrated artist Ken Aptekar titled I hear an echo (2020). The painting, which references Orchestra Hall’s opening in 1919 and DSO’s then-music director Ossip Gabrilowitsch, was commissioned by Gary L. Wasserman & Charles A. Kashner as a tribute to the Orchestra Hall centennial and in honor of DSO President and CEO Anne Parsons. The unveiling ceremony took place on Orchestra Hall’s 101st birthday, Friday, October 23 at 6:30 p.m. for a small number of socially distanced guests in the William Davidson Atrium of the Max M. and Marjorie S. Fisher Music Center (The Max), where the painting will remain on display and viewable through the DSO’s front doors on Woodward Avenue. This partnership exemplifies the DSO’s collaborative spirit and shared vision for combining and supporting arts, artists, and culture of all kinds at The Max. The ceremony also featured a performance by DSO Acting Concertmaster Kimberly Kaloyanides Kennedy. Born and raised in Detroit, Aptekar is the son of art and music educators and credits the DSO and the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) as “keys to who [he] became as an artist.” He grew up attending DSO concerts at the orchestra’s then home of Ford Auditorium under music director Paul Paray, but heard DSO recordings from Orchestra Hall and longed to experience the outstanding acoustics firsthand.
