Prokopoff Violin Music Concerts
In 2001 approximately 2,500 pieces of violin music were donated by Lois Craig, former Associate Dean of MIT's School of Architecture. This music was collected from all over the world by her husband, the late Stephen Prokopoff, a museum director and a fine violinist. Annual concerts of this music played by MIT students have been held in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010.
"Inventions
of Note" Concerts
The Musician Look-Alike Contest was replaced by the "Inventions of Note"
Concert which was presented annually in the library during IAP in
1998, 1999, and 2000. Much of the music in these concerts is taken
from the library's Inventions
of Note Sheet Music Collection. Performers of the concerts
have been MIT faculty members including Charles Shadle, Ellen Harris,
Margaret O'Keefe, Pamela Wood, Bill Cutter, Michael Ouelette, and
Kyle Hoepner. Recordings of the 1998 and 1999 concerts are available
for listening in the library.
Musician Look-Alike Contests
The Musician Look-Alike Contests took place in the library during MIT's
IAP (Independent Activities Period) from 1995-1997. Photos
were taken of the 1995
and 1996 festivities.
