Ahmanson Foundation Awards Grant to Parsons Music Library

Parsons Music Library has been awarded a $10,000 grant from the Ahmanson Foundation for the purchase of audio and video recordings of opera, as well as books that explore the multiple layers of meaning resulting from opera’s hybrid nature. Although the inspiration for this grant is a new music course, "Opera and the History of Collaboration," which will be taught by Dr. Ruth Longobardi in spring 2005, we hope that other faculty will find ways to incorporate these new library materials into their teaching and research, particularly as they stimulate creativity in areas with less obvious connections to music.
