Finding Aid for the Dorrance Stalvey papers, 1944-2005

Series 1: Chronological 1944-2005

Scope and Content

This series consists primarily of correspondence and press items relating to Stalvey's work in three fields: concert production, composition, and education. Personal correspondence includes letters from Stalvey's first wife, Marilyn Stalvey (Igor Stravinsky's secretary in the 1960s), and correspondence with fellow composers as well as rental agreements from the architect Dion Neutra, Stalvey's longtime landlord. Many years include letters of award or rejection from various foundations. Stalvey’s move to Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) with Monday Evening Concerts (MEC) created friction between him and the MEC board, which is documented in correspondence and press. Of particular interest are letters from the composer and pedagogue Nadia Boulanger, composers Ernst Krenek and Conlon Nancarrow, and philanthropist and new music supporter Betty Freeman.

Organization and Arrangement

The chronological series maintains original order.
