On Monday, April 6, the Eda Kuhn Loeb Music Library unveils a wide-ranging and visually rich exhibit celebrating the legacy of the powerful and prolific composer/pianist Randy Weston (1926-2018). Music on a Mission draws from Randy Weston recordings and papers, 1930-2018, an enormous collection of archival materials from all periods of Weston’s life and career. We invite you to explore the exhibit - and the collection - during Randy Weston’s centennial year!
Our curatorial team: Peter Laurence, Librarian for Recorded Sound and Media; Christina Linklater, Curator of the Isham Memorial Library; and Patricia O'Brien, Administrative Coordinator for Loeb Music Library.
