Title	Cleveland Composers Concert Program
Subject	Arts and Entertainment Cleveland Institute of Music Composers Concerts Music Musicians
Place	Cleveland (Ohio) Cuyahoga County (Ohio)
Description	This program is from the third annual program by concert of music by Cleveland composers, held May 15, 1928. The Cleveland Institute of Music and other local artistic societies supported the annual concerts. This program features the work of William Quincy Porter, Parker Bailey, and Beryl Rubinstein. Also included are notes by the composers on their works. The program consists of five pages and measures 9" x 6" (22.86 x 15.24 cm). William Quincy Porter (1897-1966) was born in New Haven, Connecticut. He studied with Ernest Bloch in New York City and in 1922 was appointed to the faculty of the Cleveland Institute of Music, where he taught until 1928 and then again from 1931-1932. In 1954 he received the Pulitzer Prize in music for his Concerto. Parker Bailey (1902-1982) was born in Kansas City, Missouri and received a bachelor's degree from Yale University in 1923. From 1924 to 1928 he studied at the Cleveland Institute of Music. In 1934 he graduated from the Cornell Law School and practiced law for the remainder of his life. Beryl Rubinstein (1898-1952 ) was born in Athens, Georgia. He began his career as a child and made his professional debut in 1916. In 1921 he joined the piano faculty of the Cleveland Institute of Music. He became head of the department in 1925, dean of faculty in 1929, and director in 1932, a position he held until his death. The dream of a conservatory in Cleveland, Ohio became a reality in April 1920 when a small group of founders each contributed $1000 to establish a "school of music where every type of student could find opportunity for the best music education." Temporary studios at the Hotel Statler sufficed until a facility was found. Faculty listed in the initial year of instruction include Cleveland Orchestra members Louis Edlin, violin, and Victor de Gomez, violoncello. Nathan Fryer, a pupil of Leschetizky, was appointed as director of the department of piano and ensemble. Instruction was provided for students of all ages and musical abilities, from beginner to advanced.
