House of music |

| Built in 1893, renovated in 1916 and photographed in the 1920s, this building at 325 Maynard St., adjacent to Nickels Arcade, was home to the School of Music. In 1964 school operations relocated to the E.V. Moore Building on North Campus. Today, an alley and a commercial building with a parking structure on top occupy the site. — Courtesy School of Music, Theatre & Dance |
This month in history (23 years ago) It was reported that William Bolcom, professor of music, had won the Pulitzer Prize in music for his composition “12 New Etudes for Piano.” Since then he was presented with the National Medal of Arts in 2006 by President George Bush, named 2007 Composer of the Year by Musical America and honored with multiple Grammy Awards, Bolcom taught composition at U-M from 1973-2008. He was chairman of the Composition Department from 1998-2003 and was named the Ross Lee Finney Distinguished University Professor of Composition in the fall of 1994. He continues to compose music following his retirement from teaching in 2008. Have a campus memory to share? Use the comment box below. |
