{"value"=>"<p>The Programming Files, dating from 1978 to 2016, document both individual events and performance series produced by Symphony Space. The events and series are arranged alphabetically by production name, series name (e.g. Wall To Wall, Face the Music and Dance), or performer. Some programs were grouped under the categories of Family, Literary, Music, and Dance. Interdisciplinary programs, such as Wall To Wall and No Boundaries, have their own listings. The largest components of the series are Wall To Wall, Literary Programs, the Curriculum Arts Project, and Music Under New York (MUNY).</p> <p>The files contain correspondence, photographs, notes, memos, production information, contracts, performer profiles, audience letters, schedules, budgets, and clippings. Programs, calendars, brochures, and other marketing materials can be found throughout the series, but are also gathered under Programs, Calendars, and Brochures.
