BOX 462-493, 497-499 Koussevitzky Music Foundation, 1942-1978
The Koussevitzky Music Foundation (KMF) was created by Serge Koussevitzky in May 1942, in memory of his wife Natalie, for the purpose of stimulating the growth of musical culture by commissioning new works and supporting the development of musical talent through varied activities. It should be made clear that the papers contained in this subseries are not those of the corporate entity, rather they belonged to Olga Koussevitzky in her role as president of the Koussevitzky Music Foundation. They span from the creation of the foundation to Olga's death in 1978. The papers are divided into five subseries. The Administrative Materials subseries contains papers relating to the creation of the foundation, its daily operation, and administration of its goals and objectives. Materials by and about composers who received commissions or who were being considered for them are found in the Composers/Artists subseries which also contains items relating to a few other individuals in the performing arts fields. The Subject Files subseries includes materials related to organizations, individuals, and topics that were associated with the foundation. The Financial Papers subseries contains KMF financial and legal materials. The Miscellaneous Correspondence subseries contains inquiries mostly from organizations regarding the foundation. The Scrapbooks contain clippings, programs and promotional materials documenting the activities of the KMF.
Arranged in six subseries: Administrative Materials, Composers/Artists, Subject Files, Financial Papers, Miscellaneous Correspondence, and Scrapbooks.
