Ambassador Auditorium Collection, 1974-1995

Title: Ambassador Auditorium Collection 1974-1995

The Ambassador Auditorium Collection contains the files of the various organizational departments of the Ambassador Auditorium as well as audio and video recordings. The materials cover the entire time period of April 1974 through May 1995 when the Ambassador Auditorium was fully operational as an internationally recognized concert venue. The materials in this collection cover all aspects of concert production and presentation, including documentation of the concert artists and repertoire as well as many business documents, advertising, promotion and marketing files, correspondence, inter-office memos and negotiations with booking agents. The materials are widely varied and include concert program booklets, audio and video recordings, concert season planning materials, artist publicity materials, individual event files, posters, photographs, scrapbooks and original artwork used for publicity. Many of the print materials include handwritten comments from office personnel and administrators, and many of the artist photographs are autographed. Since the various office personnel maintained their own files, and the same information was often needed in more than one office at a time, the collection contains duplicate copies of many items. Although efforts were made to eliminate duplicate material from the same file or the same series, duplicate copies of items exist among the files from different offices. In an effort to maintain the original content of these files, the cross-file duplicate items were retained in the collection.

ArchivalResource: 636; containers of various sizes with multiple types of print materials, photographic materials, audio and video materials, realia, posters and original art work (682.05 linear feet).

Title: Henryk Szeryng collection, 1933-1988 (bulk 1960-1988).

The bulk of the collection is comprised of music manuscripts and printed scores. Much of the printed music contains annotations by Szeryng, and the manuscripts include a number of Szeryng's own compositions. The collection also contains arrangements and revisions of both standard and little-known works, including Paganini's Violin concerto, no. 3, which Szeryng himself rediscovered. In addition, there are manuscripts of composers whose works Szeryng promoted, including Manuel Ponce and Cristóbal Halffter. The correspondence includes letters to and from Isaac Stern, Shlomo Mintz, Yehudi Menuhin, Eugene Ormandy, and Waltraud Szeryng. Szeryng's career as a teacher is reflected in various pedagogical items, including master-class writings and papers and books that detail the principles of the Leopold Auer, Carl Flesch, and Eugène Ysaÿe schools of violin playing. In addition, the collection includes Szeryng's writings; business papers and financial records; performance files presenting an overview of the evolution of Szeryng's concert and recording career; articles, clippings, programs, and publicity materials; photographs; awards and citations; scrapbooks; and books from his personal library that relate to his music interests or contain noteworthy inscriptions.
