What Fennell Wanted You To Know: An Inside Look at His Personal Letters, Writings, and Scores

Clinic Synopsis:

Frederick Fennell, founder of the Eastman Wind Ensemble, left his personal letters and conductor scores to the Sibley Music Library. Much of this collection has remained unknown to the wind band community. It seems clear that Fennell wanted the collection to be known, he added many biographical comments. While his story has been often told, this session seeks to provide fresh, previously unknown biographical information. Photographic reproductions will be projected and distributed to attendees.
