Composing the Future: The Fromm Foundation and the Music of Our Time

There are now 56 boxes of archival material relating to Paul Fromm and the Foundation at Harvard, including autograph scores, printed scores, letters, financial records, concert programs, photographs, reel-to-reel tapes, LPs, typescripts of lectures, interviews, and many other items. The library exhibition, Composing the Future: The Fromm Foundation and the Music of Our Time, will draw on this vast resource. Students in Professor Anne C. Shreffler’s fall-term graduate seminar “The Fromm Foundation and Contemporary Music in the United States” created the exhibit.
