Kulas Music Collection Open House Event

Music Collection CDs with gallery exhibit

Help us welcome the Kulas Music Collection to its new location within Kelvin Smith Library!

Join us on Friday, September 27 at Noon for an opening reception, talk and musical performance, as well as an Art Gallery exhibit that will uncover the history of sheet music publishing and American culture from the Tin Pan Alley era (1895 through the mid-20th century). The combination of context and music excerpts provided by  Dr. Daniel Goldmark, Associate Dean and Head of Popular Music Studies, will immerse audiences in a world that seems at once anachronistic, yet incredibly familiar to us today. 

Learn more about the event and register here.

As part of an ongoing effort to maximize usability of KSL's first floor, the Kulas Music Collection has shifted to reside near our art gallery. The move offers several advantages, particularly in response to user feedback, including study carrels in a quieter location, plus plenty of room to grow. Signage will be updated, enabling Kulas to continue enjoying high visibility. All members of the CWRU community are welcome to use the collection and make an appointment with Jacey Kepich (jacey.kepich@case.edu), Research and Engagement Librarian for Music, Theater, and Dance.
