Elizabeth Sprague Coolidgersquos 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 centuryrsquos most influential music patrons
A serious pianist and composer Mrs Coolidge funded and supervised the building of the Libraryrsquos 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 Bartoacutek 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 US offered long-term support for individual artists and ensembles introduced American radio audiences to chamber music in partnerships with major networks and underwrote thousands of free concerts for a vast audience of music lovers still growing today

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 centuryrsquos most influential music patrons
A serious pianist and composer Mrs Coolidge funded and supervised the building of the Libraryrsquos 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 Bartoacutek 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 US offered long-term support for individual artists and ensembles introduced American radio audiences to chamber music in partnerships with major networks and underwrote thousands of free concerts for a vast audience of music lovers still growing today

Elizabeth Sprague Coolidgersquos 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 centuryrsquos most influential music patrons
A serious pianist and composer Mrs Coolidge funded and supervised the building of the Libraryrsquos 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 Bartoacutek 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 US offered long-term support for individual artists and ensembles introduced American radio audiences to chamber music in partnerships with major networks and underwrote thousands of free concerts for a vast audience of music lovers still growing today

Elizabeth Sprague Coolidgersquos 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 centuryrsquos most influential music patrons
A serious pianist and composer Mrs Coolidge funded and supervised the building of the Libraryrsquos 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 Bartoacutek 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 US offered long-term support for individual artists and ensembles introduced American radio audiences to chamber music in partnerships with major networks and underwrote thousands of free concerts for a vast audience of music lovers still growing today

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 centuryrsquos most influential music patrons
A serious pianist and composer Mrs Coolidge funded and supervised the building of the Libraryrsquos 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 Bartoacutek 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 US offered long-term support for individual artists and ensembles introduced American radio audiences to chamber music in partnerships with major networks and underwrote thousands of free concerts for a vast audience of music lovers still growing today

Elizabeth Sprague Coolidgersquos 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 centuryrsquos most influential music patrons
A serious pianist and composer Mrs Coolidge funded and supervised the building of the Libraryrsquos 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 Bartoacutek 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 US offered long-term support for individual artists and ensembles introduced American radio audiences to chamber music in partnerships with major networks and underwrote thousands of free concerts for a vast audience of music lovers still growing today

Elizabeth Sprague Coolidgersquos 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 centuryrsquos most influential music patrons
A serious pianist and composer Mrs Coolidge funded and supervised the building of the Libraryrsquos 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 Bartoacutek 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 US offered long-term support for individual artists and ensembles introduced American radio audiences to chamber music in partnerships with major networks and underwrote thousands of free concerts for a vast audience of music lovers still growing today

Elizabeth Sprague Coolidgersquos 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 centuryrsquos most influential music patrons
A serious pianist and composer Mrs Coolidge funded and supervised the building of the Libraryrsquos 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 Bartoacutek 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 US offered long-term support for individual artists and ensembles introduced American radio audiences to chamber music in partnerships with major networks and underwrote thousands of free concerts for a vast audience of music lovers still growing today
