{"value"=>"<p>This series holds the records of the U.S. section of the ISCM, from its founding in 1922 to just before its 1954 merge with the League of Composers. The records consist primarily of correspondence but also contain clippings and concert programs, files documenting festivals produced by the Society (mostly programs), and general papers, which include the U.S. section's certificate of incorporation. The clippings and program files on foreign ISCM sections also contain correspondence with those sections.</p> <p>The letters in the correspondence files are mostly to Dorothy Lawton, Secretary of the U.S. section. Correspondents include Elliott Carter, Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge, Henry Cowell, Eugene Goossens, Serge Koussevitsky, G. Francesco Malipiero, Quincy Porter, Karol Rathaus, Arnold Schoenberg and Roger Sessions.</p>"}
