The Dallas Morse Coors Foundation has donated $2 million to rename the Cornell Concert Series, enhancing its legacy of over 100 years. This funding will ensure continued access to world-class musicians for the Cornell and Ithaca communities. The series has hosted renowned artists since its inception in 1903, evolving to feature diverse musical traditions. Professor Benjamin Piekut emphasized the importance of integrating performances with academic activities, offering both artistic enjoyment and insights into the significance of art today, thus fostering a comprehensive cultural experience for audiences.
"The Concert Series at Cornell has existed for well over 100 years, and this gift from the Dallas Morse Coors Foundation will lead us into its next brilliant chapter," said Benjamin Piekut.
"In so doing, these esteemed guests offer not only sublime artistic experiences, but also profound wisdom about the role of art in the 21st century," he said.
