Music

Haverford’s first orchestra was founded in 1895, and joined forces with Bryn Mawr in 1940. Under William Heartt Reese’s sustained guidance the orchestra grew in numbers and skill, and in 1963 and 1964 it undertook its most ambitious concert repertoire to date, including pieces by Bartók, Fauré, and Shostakovich.

Come back tomorrow to see Music at Haverford “Now”.
