2007
Please join us in New Haven on Saturday, April 21 for an
informative and enjoyable day in which we remember the legacy of David
Kraehenbuehl (1923-1997). A series of speeches, an oral history, and a piano
master class are among the events throughout the day that will address
Kraehenbuehl's contributions as a composer, a music educator, and a music
theorist. The conference finale will be a performance of Kraehenbuehl's rarely
heard masterpiece Drumfire for chorus and orchestra. The conference is
sponsored by the Irving S. Gilmore Music Library and the David Kraehenbuehl
Society, with additional support provided by the Beinecke Rare Book and
Manuscript Library, the Yale School of Music, the Yale Institute of Sacred
