Eliel Saarinen, the eminent architect selected by Koussevitzky, proposed an elaborate design that went far beyond the immediate needs of the festival and, more important, went well beyond the budget of $100,000. His second, simplified plans were still too expensive, and he finally wrote that if the Trustees insisted on remaining within their budget, they would have "just a shed," which "any builder could accomplish without the aid of an architect." The Trustees then turned to a Stockbridge engineer, Joseph Franz, to make further simplifications in Saarinen's plans in order to lower the cost. The building that he erected remains, with modifications, to this day; it is still called simply "the Shed." The Shed was inaugurated for the first concert of the 1938 festival. It has echoed with the music of the Boston Symphony Orchestra every summer since, except for the war years 1942- 45, and has become almost a place of pilgrimage to millions of concertgoers. By 1941, the Theatre- Concert Hall, the Chamber Music c>. Hall, and several small studios — all part of the Berkshire Music Center, which had begun operations the preceding year — were finished, and the festival had so expanded its activities and its reputation for excellence that it attracted nearly 100,000 visitors.

  • 2005 Distinguished Faculty, John Hall
    The Complete Recitalist June 9-23 n Singing On Stage June 18-July 3 n Distinguished faculty John Harbison, Jake Heggie, Martin Katz, and others 2005 Distinguished Faculty, John Hall Welcome to Songfest 2005! “Search and see whether there is not some place where you may invest your humanity.” – Albert Schweitzer 1996 Young Artist program with co-founder John Hall. Songfest 2005 is supported, in part, by grants from the Aaron Copland Fund for Music and the Virgil Thomson Foundation. Songfest photography courtesy of Luisa Gulley. Songfest is a 501(c)3 corporation. All donations are 100% tax-deductible to the full extent permitted by law. Dear Friends, It is a great honor and joy for me to present Songfest 2005 at Pepperdine University once again this summer. In our third year of residence at this beautiful ocean-side Malibu campus, Songfest has grown to encompass an ever-widening circle of inspiration and achievement. Always focusing on the special relationship between singer and pianist, we have moved on from our unique emphasis on recognized masterworks of art song to exploring the varied and rich American Song. We are once again privileged to have John Harbison with us this summer. He has generously donated a commission to Songfest – Vocalism – to be premiered on the June 19 concert. Our singers and pianists will be previewing his new song cycle on poems by Milosz. Each time I read these beautiful poems, I am reminded why we love this music and how our lives are enriched. What an honor and unique opportunity this is for Songfest.

M., M. M. EssayAccompanying a Collection of Musical Criticisms Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University Copyright (§) 1988 by Alan Richard Gasser MASTER OF ARTS (1988) McMASTER UNIVERSITY (Music Criticism) Hamilton, Ontario TITI..E: A Critical Portfolio: Being Chiefly Reports on New Music and Opera (1987-88) by a Critic Living in Hamilton, Ontarj[o AUTHOR: Alan Richard Gasser, B.M. (College of Wooster) M.M. (University of Minnesota) SUPERVISOR: Mr. William Littler (external) Professor Paul Rapoport (internal) NUMBER OF PAGES: vi, 151 Ii ABSTRACT The critical portfolio here collected was written under the guidance of Mr. William Littler, music critic of the Toronto Star. ][t is primarily an idiosyncratic account of the new music concerts and opera productions in the Toronto and Hamilton area between June, 1987 and June, 1988. Canadian composers, performers and performings organizations are mentioned prominently, though significant concerts and operas from elsewhere lend breadth and depth to the coverage. In an introductory essay, the thorny matter of using words to write about music is dealt with obliquely, through a discussion of the organization of the separate reports into a portfolio. The overall form of the portfolio is a literary one which alludes to traditional symphonic forms. A short statement of the author's critical predilections serves as the critical creed in which these separate reports have a common origin.
