Curry Holden: A Landmark VisionaryTUESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2015 – SUNDAY, OCTOBER 2, 2016Curry Holden, the first Director of the West Texas Museum (now the Museum of Texas Tech University), is credited with the discovery of Lubbock Lake in 1936. It all started when the young Kimmel brothers brought him bones of ancient bison and a Folsom point found there. Throughout the decades, Holden’s research championed protection of the Lubbock Lake. He oversaw excavations, worked with community leaders, and raised community awareness with his own guided tours into the late 1960s. His ceaseless efforts are chronicled in celebration of the Landmark’s 80th anniversary of discovery. His vision is the foundation for the Landmark’s current mission and success.

3:00–4:00 p.m.

This program focuses on the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt, particularly his creation of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) and the Federal Music Project (FMP). The FMP showed the creative American spirit in the face of the Depression with new compositions that glorified and reminded people of their American pride. Composers such as Aaron Copland, Roy Harris, and Virgil Thomson wrote mostly orchestral works for the FMP, but also wrote a large body of chamber music. Pairing music with its historical context can elucidate connections between art and the people it serves. This program highlights the chamber music of these American composers, some of whom are not often heard; discusses the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt and how he created the WPA and the FMP; and looks at their positive impact on the American people.
