Sound Investment A Report from DePaul University School of Music 112010–11 letter from the dean Contents september, 2011

Donald E. Casey Dean of the School of Music Of Note: 2010-2011 Highlights 4-5 Dear Friends,

Faculty News 6-9 We are nearly breathless with excitement, and anxious to inform you about all the wonderful things that are developing in your favorite school of music. We hope you will be New Faculty Members pleased to hear about each of these things: Faculty and Staff Activities Community Music Division First, our School opened its doors in September of 1912 and we just welcomed our 100th Master Classes incoming class of music students—146 exceptionally bright, capable, and dedicated young student musicians who have already impressed us as the strongest incoming class to date. Student News 10-11 This all means that we’ll begin celebrating the School’s Centennial in September of Student Scholar Spotlight 2012—one year from now. A committee has been making plans for that celebration which Honorary Degree Recipient, John von Rhein will feature guest artists, a series of commissions of new works, and much more. The celebrations will culminate in May, 2013, when our choruses and symphony orchestra will Class Notes 12-13 premiere a new work of Chicagoan Augusta Read Thomas and perform Beethoven’s magnificent Symphony No. 9 in Orchestra Hall! It’ll be a night, and a year, to remember.

14-15 Campaign Report Second, DePaul University has completed five years of its planned eight-year comprehensive campaign, building toward a target of $250,000,000. The good news is 2010-11 2011 Spring Concert & Gala 16-17 that you and others have already been so generous that we’ve passed $200,000,000 in gifts and pledges; the bad news is that we still have almost $50,000,000 to go! The School of Donors for 2010-11 18-23 Music has already secured $15,000,000, with hopes to build that to at least $22,000,000 in three more years. Much of the University’s campaign goal—over $100,000,000 will be Alumni & Friends designated for scholarship support, but some of the rest is being raised in support of new Cortelyou Heritage Society facilities for The Theatre School and the School of Music! Endowments

That’s the third exciting piece of news. We are in the design phase for all new and state-of-the-art music facilities that will be built right here at Fullerton and Halsted in the years just ahead, turning our 4.1 acre site into a music campus and giving us underground event parking. For the first time, our patrons will be able to come to a concert and not have to circle the neighborhood in search of a parking spot. More important, for the first time the extremely talented music students who come to DePaul will be able to pursue their art in facilities that were designed for their art!

As I say, we are nearly breathless with excitement at each of these developments. We hope you can share our excitement, that you’ll share in our Centennial celebrations and participate in our campaign, and especially that you’ll be here too see the all-new facilities that we will be opening in 2015 and 2016. It’s truly an historic time for what we think has Donald E. Casey, Dean become an extraordinary school. Thanks for believing in us!
