12 13 Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge’s generous endowment to fund the Library of Congress concert series required an Act of Congress, signed into law on January 23, 1925 AN ACT OF CONGRESS CELEBRATING THE 150TH BIRTHDAY OF ELIZABETH SPRAGUE COOLIDGE The 2014-2015 season honors the 150th birthday of series founder Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge, celebrating the vision, passionate commitment and long-lasting artistic legacy of a brilliant woman recognized today as one of the 20th century’s most influential music patrons.

A serious pianist and composer, Mrs. Coolidge funded and supervised the building of the Library’s Coolidge Auditorium, wiring it for the then-new medium of radio. A champion of contemporary music, she commissioned many significant composers, among them Stravinsky, Ravel, Copland, Bartók, Schoenberg, Britten and many others, establishing a groundbreaking concert series that would quickly earn respect and recognition from the international music world. She advanced the cause of music both new and old in many ways, providing funds for lectureships and public programs at major institutions and subsidizing musicological studies.

Perhaps the most visible single benefactor of chamber music even today, she created chamber festivals both in Europe and in the U.S., offered long-term support for individual artists and ensembles, introduced American radio audiences to chamber music CONCERTS FROM THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS in partnerships with major networks, and underwrote thousands of FOUNDER, ELIZABETH SPRAGUE COOLIDGE free concerts for a vast audience of music lovers, still growing today.
