Musical Synergies Across Collections

Oct 15, 2024 - May 30, 2025
This exhibition reveals the interrelated musical holdings in the Booth Family Center for Special Collections across all curatorial units including the University Archives, the Art Collection. Rare Books, Manuscripts and the Woodstock Theological Library. In so doing it presents a rare opportunity for viewers to see these items displayed together in imaginative pairings and groupings. Musical Synergies Across Collections celebrates the richness of the Library’s non-circulating special collections and why they are such a valuable resource for students, faculty and researchers. In keeping with the Robbin Gallery's mission to display objects relating to music, these pieces range from 19th-century student musical groups on campus to a photograph of Black jazz musicians from New Orleans, a colorful jazz-themed artwork by Romare Bearden, and an album of Black composers works by William Grant Still and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor.
