Organization Records, 1952-2019 (continued)
BOX 256-263 Non-Music Organizations, 1954-2019
This subseries documents Wuorinen’s memberships in the American Academy of Arts & Letters, American Academy of Arts & Sciences, and American Academy in Rome. The awards Wuorinen received from these associations are located in the Subject Files series. He was involved in the academies’ activities after receiving recognition by serving on selection committees and actively submitting potential new members for consideration. The records primarily consist of form letters and correspondence. Wuorinen attended several of the award ceremonies of the American Academy of Arts & Letters; group photographs from these events are in the Photographs series. This subseries also includes records from The Century Association, a private club of artists and scholars in New York City. The Century Association records chiefly consist of form letters and mailings sent to all members. Also present are programs from performances on their concert series that Wuorinen performed on and directed, and correspondence from his nominations of candidates for membership.

BOX 274-282; 315R Howard Stokar Papers on Charles Wuorinen, 1957-2022
Howard Stokar and Charles Wuorinen first met through their work with the San Francisco Symphony in the 1980s. Stokar later became Wuorinen’s manager and husband. Consequently, the bulk of the materials in this series date from the 1980s through the 2000s. These materials include program notes and biographical summaries that Stokar sent to ensembles performing Wuorinen’s music. Correspondence between Stokar and various companies and ensembles about topics such as concert scheduling and fees are present, as are contracts. This series also contains clippings, most of which are reviews of performances of Wuorinen’s music. Some of the clippings predate Stokar and Wuorinen’s acquaintance. Liner notes from recordings of Wuorinen’s music made in the 1990s and 2000s are also found here.
Some financial papers in this series are restricted until 2068.
