The Great Orchestrator: Arthur Judson and American Arts Management

Acknowledgments

Acknowledgments Many individuals and organizations helped bring this book to light. I am indebted to the New York Philharmonic, the Philadelphia Orchestra Association , and Denison University for access to materials. I especially thank the archivists at those institutions, whose expertise and hospitality helped me wade through mountains of documents: Barbara Haws (NYP), Richard Wandel (NYP), JoAnne Barry (POA), Florence Hoffman (DU), and Heather Lyle (DU). I am also thankful for the time and insights of Harry Beall, Byron Bray, James Buswell IV, Edward Cramer, Gary and Naomi Graffman, Tedd Joselson, Arthur Judson II, Charles Seton, Tim Smith, and Katherine Weinhold. This book would not have been possible without Joe Horowitz’s sage advice , scholarship, and moral support over the years. Thanks also to Mark Clague and Michael Charry for their detailed and helpful critiques, to Laurie Matheson, Dawn Durante, and Nancy Albright for shepherding the book to press, and to Dolores Pesce for mentoring my first pass through the Judson story so many years ago. I am also grateful to Randolph-Macon College, whose Armour/DuPont/Cabell Endowment and Walter Williams Craigie Endowment partially funded my research for this project. Thanks as well to my colleagues Ray Berry, Bill Franz, Joe Mattys, Todd Munson, Barry Pfitzner, and Chris Ryder for encouragement. I am also indebted to Brenda Martin for her printing expertise and Ian Stewart for his faithful interview transcriptions (despite his misplaced sports allegiances). But my deepest thanks go to my wife and best friend, Lauren Bell, whose love and intellect shaped this book in so many ways. Her unwavering support and insightful advice helped me see—and ultimately reach—the light at the end of the tunnel. I could not have done it without her.
