Composer of the Week

The MacDowell Colony (1907-)

Part Four

Donald Macleod continues his exploration of the musical history of the MacDowell Colony.

4/5. A gifted artist himself, Edward MacDowell almost gave up his musical career to study drawing. He was also fascinated by photography, dabbled in architecture and published a book of verse. All of these interests are reflected in the facilities available to artists wishing to come to The MacDowell Colony.

Donald Macleod talks to composers Paul Moravec and Ned Rorem about their residencies there and sees how MacDowell's vision of an interaction between artistic disciplines can work.
