Frederick Loewe Symposium in American Music

Frederick Loewe Symposium in American Music:

About the School
The University of Redlands and its School of Music has been closely associated with American music since its founding in 1907. A prominent stop at the end of the rail lines leading to the west coast, concerts at the Redlands Bowl built in 1923 and performances of jazz bands and popular artists at the university's Casa Loma Room have been important parts of the region's musical life. In 1970 Stan Kenton and His Orchestra recorded the album Live at Redlands University and the School of Music was the home of avant-garde composer Barney Childs from 1971 to 1993. Materials from both these artists, along with the George Sheet Music Collection (featuring over 500 printed songs from the 1900s-1930s), form the core of the university's musical archives. The School of Music and its collections are also supported by the estate of Frederick Loewe, the Oscar-winning composer who retired to nearby Palm Springs.

The University has a long tradition of encouraging and supporting study abroad.
