Throughout Howard Hanson\u2019s long tenure, the Eastman School of Music had correctly been perceived as an institution where American music and the American composer were ardently championed.\u00a0 The many American Composers\u2019 Concerts, and the annual Festivals of American Music (1931-1971) bore testimony to this.\u00a0 I myself have quipped more than once that during the Hanson years, one might appropriately have draped a banner reading \u201cAmerican music played here\u201d on the Eastman School\u2019s exterior.\u00a0 The cause of American music was a valid and worthy mission, and its advocacy at the Eastman School did not end with Hanson\u2019s retirement.\u00a0 For one thing, the Festivals of American Music continued through 1971 with Hanson\u2019s continuing administrative participation, and still today, the Howard Hanson Institute for American Music is instrumental in the commissioning of new works.\u00a0 The difference between the Hanson era and later is one of priority, or of balance; in the post-Hanson Eastman School, American music has taken its place as one creative entity within a broader vision of music.\u00a0 Under Director Hendl\u2019s leadership there came a succession of high-profile events which brought the students and faculty of the Eastman School into direct contact with noteworthy international figures.\u00a0 The first had been in December, 1965 when Mr. Hendl had conducted the Western Hemisphere premiere of Dmitri Kabalevsky\u2019s <em>Requiem, <\/em>opus 27 in a performance featuring a children\u2019s chorus drawn from the Rochester City School District. (That same chorus would be re-branded the following year as the Eastman Children\u2019s Chorus, and would remain active through the 1970s.)\u00a0 Roll forward to March, 1966, when a major composer would be in residency.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;top&#8221; gap=&#8221;10&#8243;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1643388950439{background-color: #ffffff !important;}&#8221;][vc_images_carousel images=&#8221;12527,12528,12529,12530,12531&#8243; img_size=&#8221;340&#215;245&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1710523565514{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1710523618222{margin-left: 5px !important;}&#8221;]<span style=\"font-size: 11px;\">During the Eastman School\u2019s Stravinsky Week, Mrs. Edith Hendl hosts a tea at Hutchison House in honor of Mrs. Vera Stravinsky.

Igor Stravinsky is among those few. His cultural achievements\u2014as composer, conductor, and artist\u2014will always be cited as unexcelled by any figure of this century.<br \/>\n\u201cBorn in Russia near St. Petersburg, in 1982, he studied in his youth with Rimsky-Korsakov, already showing the genius that still continues to grow. \u00a0The brilliance of his early successes made its impact on this side of the Atlantic long before his first visit to America in 1925; and the nation takes pride in his choice of the United States as his home since 1939.<br \/>\n\u201cA citizen of this country now, he is also a citizen of the cultural world that is unbounded by space and time. \u00a0His increasing and unceasing influence in shaping the progress of music in the twentieth century is everywhere apparent in modern composition: in polytonality, serial technique, and neo-Baroque music, among other things.<br \/>\n\u201cBringing to his own creative activities such diverse influences as folklore, church rites, eighteenth century reserve, and unbridled jazz, he has composed in, and had his effect upon, almost every musical form and medium.<br \/>\n\u201cThe world is fortunate to have the thought of this man of genius recorded in a series of Harvard lectures and the four books he has written in recent years. \u00a0The Eastman School of Music of the University of Rochester pays homage to Igor Stravinsky as one of the immortals of music and offers him the degree, Doctor of Humane Letters, as the symbol of its veneration.\u201d<a href=\"#_ftn7\" name=\"_ftnref7\"><sup>[7]<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;
