Biography
Conrad Susa was born in Springdale, PA, on April 26, 1935. Introduced to music at an early age, he performed with his local
church, first as a choirboy and then as an organist while at Springdale High School. His music education continued at the
Carnegie Institute of Technology (now known as Carnegie Mellon University), where he graduated Cum Laude in 1957. Upon completing
his degree, Susa attended on scholarship the Connecticut College Modern Dance Festival, earning a diploma following studies
on composing for dance performances. He also played for festival dance classes at that time. Susa continued his education
at the prestigious Juilliard School under the guidance of William Bergsma and Vincent Persichetti. His work as a composer
began in earnest during this time, garnering him awards such as the George Gershwin Memorial Scholarship, two E.J. Benjamin
awards, the Marion Ferschl prize, the Alexander Gretchaninoff First Prize, and a Ford Foundation Fellowship between his enrollment
and completion of his MS degree in 1961. Also in 1961, Susa was chosen as one of ten composers selected by the Ford Foundation
to participate in a festival honoring Igor Stravinsky in Santa Fe, NM. During this time in 1959, Susa also began to work with
the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego as the Composer-in-Residence, a post he held until 1994. Along with the Old Globe Theatre
in San Diego, he worked as the Musical Director for the APA-Phoenix Repertory Theatre Company, New York, NY (1961-1968) and
the American Shakespeare Festival Theatre and Academy (1969-1971). Susa also created compositions for theatre, documentary
films, and chorale groups, and television (well over a hundred works). His works have been performed in Carnegie Hall, Lincoln
Center, the Stratford Shakepeare Festival, the Seattle Repertory Company, the American Conservatory Theatre, the Guthrie Theatre,
the Center Theatre Group, and the Mark Taper Forum, among others.
Alongside his compositions above, Susa composed five operas. His first opera, "Transformations", based on poems by Anne Sexton
(also his most performed opera) was commissioned by the Minnesota Opera in 1973. The Minnesota Opera also commissioned his
next work, "Black River: A Wisconsin Idyll" in 1975 (libretto by Richard Street). In 1984, Susa collaborated with Street for
the San Francisco Opera/PEPSICO Summer Fare joint commission of Frederico Garcia Lorca's "The Love of Don Perlimplin", with
Street adapting his libretto from Lorca's text. In 1994, San Francisco Opera commissioned Susa's "The Dangerous Liaisons"
(libretto by Phillip Littell). The original cast included Thomas Hampson, Frederica von Stade and Renée Fleming and was broadcast
on the PBS program "Great Performances" later that year. The same year, Susa collaborated with Littell to compose "The Wise
Women", a retelling of the story of the Three Wise Men of Bethlehem.
Susa was actively involved in music education. He served as the Resource Personnel and Field Director for the Artists-in-School
Program at Lincoln Center (1967-1972) and the Director of West Coast Services for Young Audiences, Inc. (1974-1979). From
1988, Susa served as Professor of Composition at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, a position he would hold until his
death on November 21, 2013.

Scope and Contents
This is the personal collection of Conrad Susa, an American composer. This collection includes a rich history of Susa's life
from his childhood in Springdale, Pennsylvania, to his death in San Franisco, California. Susa was an award winning composer,
serving as the Musical Director for several prominent companies such as the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego. His diverse works
included chorale compositions, music for live theatrical productions, and four operas. His work "The Dangerous Liaisons" was
commissioned by the San Francisco Opera. Along with his active work as a composer, Susa was also a teacher, working with the
San Francisco Conservatory of Music for several years until his death. This collection includes correspondence, working documents,
libretti, press clippings, photographic materials, programs, promotional materials, scrapbooks, sheet music, and transcripts.

eleven boxes of audiovisual materials, including complete recordings of some of Susa's original operas, chorales, and music
composed for theatrical performances at companies such as at the Old Globe Theatre, APA Repertory, and the American Shakespeare

music evolution.
