Priscilla Dantas visit a success
Priscilla Dantas' visit to our area, in a series of 6 recitals organized in part by the Oregon Chapter of the American Liszt Society, was a big success: almost $10,000 were raised and invested in a scholarship fund for Priscilla, to be used when she enrolls at the University of Oregon School of Music in the near future. By popular request, Priscilla will return to Eugene in July 2009 for another series of recitals.
Chapter received a Stanley B. Greenfield Award
Our chapter received a Stanley B. Greenfield Award that made possible the purchase of the complete set of recordings of Liszt’s piano music (58 vols., many of which are double CDs, for a total of a little under 100 CDs) recorded by pianist and musicologist Leslie Howard, president of the British Liszt Society. The complete series of CDs is already available at the University of Oregon Knight Library, Douglass Music Room. With this purchase, plus the ongoing purchases of the scores in the complete Liszt Edition (Editio Musica Budapest), and recent purchases of the complete book series "American Liszt Society Studies" our University and the Oregon Chapter of the American Liszt Society get on the forefront of Lisztian scholarship.
